Winter has come today
I’ve watched it shed the clouds and turn to blue from grey
I sip my coffee, though it’s cold
The very grains within it know that winter has come today
We’ll go walking in frosty places
And we will creep out in the drowsy light
So we can be sure we’re alive
You’ll tell me it’s ok that we are all just passing by
But you can’t give me what I want
If what I want is you forever, darling
You can’t give me what I want
‘Cause we are fading like the winter
But it’s only when it fades that I can see what’s underneath
Why would I need to fight
When I’ve got you to wrap myself around each night?
But the hair grows on your face, the blood keeps running through your veins
And I can’t hold back those tides
We were watching the swallows leaving
And I would cling to the branches
I didn’t fancy my chances
To land in the wind and unfold again in spring
You can’t give me what I want
If what I want is you forever, darling
You can’t give me what I want
‘Cause we are fading like the winter
We are fading, and I see…
Harmony, harmony among the noise
Harmony, harmony among the noise
My boots, they are heavy, and my shoulders may be tight
But there is harmony among the noise
You can’t give me what I want...
