Janis Ian - In the Winter

 

The days are okay, I watch the TV in the afternoons. If I get lonely the sound of Other voices, other rooms are near to me. I'm not afraid. The operator, she tells the time, It's good for a laugh. There's always radio, And for dime I can talk to God, "Dial-A-Prayer, are you there? Do you care, are you there?" And in the winter, Extra blankets for the cold. Fix the heater, getting old. I am wiser now, you know. A still as big a fool concerning you. I met your friend, She's very nice, what can I say? It was an accident, I never dreamed we'd meet again this way. You're looking well. I'm not afraid. You have a lovely home, Just like a picture. No, I live alone. I found it easier, You must remember how, I never liked the party life. Up all night, lovely wife. You have a lovely wife. And in the winter, Extra blankets for the cold. Fix the heater, getting old. You are with her now, I know. I'll live alone forever, Not together now. Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooomm.
