Monkey In Winter

Remember tumble weeds on an empty road That coffee pot on a burnin' stove The Christmas tree in a place a called home That's what I miss the most This drifting leaves fall to the ground I scoop them up and I throw them down I close my eyes and I start to count The lonely people leaving town And I feel like a monkey in winter And you are a lizard in the sun Yes I feel like a monkey in winter Say hello to something new Is what a friend told me to do 'Cause beggars can't be choosers and I can't afford to lose We never touched we never kissed We never loved though we thought we did So I walked away and I called it quits What the eyes don't see, you know the heart won't miss But I feel like a monkey in winter And you are a lizard in the sun Yes I feel like a monkey in winter And winter's just began Remember summer long ago The sun beats down, the air was clean It came and went away Things come and go But do you, do you remember me? Remember tumble weeds on an empty road Coffee pot on a burnin' stove The Christmas tree in a place a called home That's what I miss the most We never touched we never kissed We never loved though we thought we did So I walked away and I called it quits What the eyes don't see, you know the heart don't miss But I feel like a monkey in winter And you are a lizard in the sun Yes I feel like a monkey in winter And it looks like winter's gone
