Monkey In Winter

Sinead O'Connor

(feat. The Colourfield)

Remember tumble weeds on an empty road

That coffee pot on a burnin' stove

The Christmas tree in a place a called home

That's what I miss the most

This drifting leaves fall to the ground

I scoop them up and I throw them down

I close my eyes and I start to count

The lonely people leaving town

And I feel like a monkey in winter

And you are a lizard in the sun

Yes I feel like a monkey in winter

Say hello to something new

Is what a friend told me to do

'cos beggars can't be choosers and I can't afford to loose

We never touched we never kissed

We never loved though we thought we did

So I walked away and I called it quits

What the eyes don't see, you know the heart won't miss

But I feel like a monkey in winter

And you are a lizard in the sun

Yes I feel like a monkey in winter

And winter's just began

Remember summer long ago

The sun beats down, the air was clean

It came and went away

Things come and go

But do you, do you remember me?

Remember tumble weeds on an empty road

Coffee pot on a burnin' stove

The Christmas tree in a place a called home

That's what I miss the most

We never touched we never kissed

We never loved though we thought we did

So I walked away and I called it quits

What the eyes don't see, you know the heart don't miss

But I feel like a monkey in winter

And you are a lizard in the sun

Yes I feel like a monkey in winter

And it looks like winter's gone
