In the Winter Songtext
von Janis Ian

The days are okay
I watch the TV in the afternoon
If I get lonely
The sound of other voices, other rooms
Are near to me, I′m not afraid.

The operator, she tells the time
It's good for a laugh
There′s always radio
And for a dime I can
Talk to God, dial-a-prayer,
Are you there? Do you care?
Are you there?

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


I 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

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
Up all night, lovely wife
You have a lovely wife

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
