COLD MORNING RAIN

In the cold, cold morning rain,
You left me baby, and then the winter came.
Now I'm spending time alone,
And wishing you were here to warm my home.

Now my seasons change no more,
It's cold and lonely here within these doors.
And my skies are still and gray,
My life since you've been gone, is a winter day.

Well I know that there are things I might have said to you,
And I know that there are things I could have done.
Now I'm wishing that I'd had the sense,
To say and do these things to keep you home.

If I could do it all again,
I'd treat you tenderly, and learn to bend.
I couldn?t see it all unfold
And now your memory is all I hold,
And now your memory is all I hold.

If I'd tried, I'm sure I could have shown you better days,
And I know you often let me have my way.
And now I know this empty feeling here without you,
Was the higher price to pay.

Now my seasons change no more,
It's cold and lonely here within these doors.
And the cold, cold, morning rain,
Brings back the memory once again,
I wish these winter days would somehow end,
I wish these winter days would somehow end.
