In the Winter (Live, 2003)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
The operator
She tells the time
It's good for a laugh
There's always radio
For a dime I can
Talk to God, dial-a-prayer
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you there?

[Chorus]
And in the winter
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater getting old
I am wiser now, you know
And still as big a fool
Concerning you

[Verse 3]
I've 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

[Verse 4]
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
We're up all night
A lovely wife
You have a lovely wife

[Chorus]
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
