Edge Of Winter

She is a stranger on your street
One of so many kinds you can meet
Said she could have picked up her feet
And out of here long ago (long ago)

If it weren't for the edge of winter coming on
Stirring up the leaves from the gutter where they belong
She could've been heading home by now
If it weren't for a lot of things
But ah, she's only just surviving on her own

Last seen on the Cote d'Azur
With anyone who's anyone
Wrapped around her fingers
Like diamonds in the setting sun
Last seen smiling at her own reflection
Now she looks away, looks away

Talk about promises unkept
Things she never ever got to accept
An absolute woman of the flesh
And she wanted everyone to know about it

If it weren't for the lifestyle bringing her down
Stripping her naked with rumours all over town
She'd be standing on her own two feet
Instead of winding up this way, on this street
Ah, she's only just surviving

Last seen on the Cote d'Azur
With anyone who's anyone
Wrapped around her fingers
Like diamonds in the setting sun
Last seen smiling at her own reflection
Now she looks away, looks away
She's gotta look away this time

Ah, she's only just surviving

Last seen on the Cote d'Azur
With anyone who's anyone
Wrapped around her fingers
Like diamonds in the setting sun
Last seen smiling at her own reflection
Now she looks away, looks away

Last seen on the Cote d'Azur
With anyone who's anyone
Wrapped around her fingers
Like diamonds in the setting sun
Last seen smiling at her own reflection
Now she looks away, looks away
