[Verse 1]
Emptiness and just a memory

[Verse 2]

Casting stormy shadows all around

[Chorus]
Winter melody, winter melody, winter melody
Play for me, just for me
'Cause he's not coming home and I am here alone
(On my own)
[Chorus]
Winter melody
Play for me, just for me
'Cause he's not coming home and I am here all alone
(On my own)
[Verse 3]
Loneliness, that's all that's left for me
Happiness is chilled by winter's breeze
And I keep on remembering the day that you came along
And since you've left, well I just sing this song
[Chorus]
Winter melody, winter melody, winter melody
Play for me, just for me
'Cause he's not coming home
Won't you please? (On my own)

“Winter Melody” is the one song on the album we can all relate to. It’s very romantic. When I write songs I write about myself. I just won’t sing anything I can’t Identify with.
