Thru the Winter Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

We stopped making love sometime last summer
But we held on through the rains or fog
In a once happy home that you′d slowly grown
The fire's dead

We talked every night since last October
Hopin′ this bad time will soon go through
But with these, these simple winds
It's time we began to face the truth

Baby
We're not gonna make it through the winter
′Cause our love′s freezin' up and we both know
Hearts aren′t made to love in a weather
So bitter cold, so bitter cold

I'm prepared for the hell, I know it′s comin'
The sleepless night, I know I′m gonna go through
I'm all prepared to say goodbye
Even though I know I'm gonna cry
About a million tears


I wish this story had a happy ending
All at once, the clouds would disappear
But in here, I stand below
And outside, they tell me snow is on the way

Baby
We′re not gonna make it through the winter
′Cause our love's freezin′ up and we both know
Hearts, they weren't made to love in a weather
So bitter cold

Baby
We just can′t make it through the winter
'Cause our love′s freezin' up, and we both know
Hearts, hearts, they weren't made to love in a weather
That′s so, so, so bitter cold

Baby
We can′t make it through the winter
'Cause you know, and I know
Hearts, hearts weren′t made to love in a weather
That's so, that′s so, that's so bitter cold


Baby, baby
I can′t see us makin' it through the winter
'Cause our love′s freezin′ up, and we both know
Hearts, hearts, hearts, they were made for lovin' weather
The snow, the snow, the snow
