Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When winter's shadowy fingers

First pursue you down the street

And your boots no longer lie

About the cold around your feet

[Verse 2]

Do you spare a thought for summer

Whose passage is complete

Whose memories lie in ruins

And whose ruins lie in heat?

[Verse 3]

When winter comes howling in

[Verse 4]

When the wind is singing strangely

Blowing music through your head

And your rain-splattered windows

Make you decide to stay in bed

[Verse 5]

Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp

Who wishes he was dead

Or pull up your bedclothes higher

Dream of summertime instead?

[Verse 6]

When winter comes howling in

[Verse 7]

The creeping cold has fingers

That caress without permission

And mystic crystal snowdrops

Only aggravate the condition

[Verse 8]

Do you spare one thought for the traveler

With no secure position

Who's turned and spurned by village and town

At the magistrate's decision?

[Verse 9]

When winter comes howling in

[Verse 10]

When the turkey is in the oven

And the Christmas presents are bought

And Santa's in his module

He's an American astronaut

[Verse 11]

Do you spare one thought for Jesus

Who had nothing but his thoughts

Who got busted just for talking

And befriending the wrong sorts?

[Verse 12]

When winter comes howling in

When winter

When winter comes

Comes howling in
