[Verse 1]
Now the sun was in my eyes
So forgive me if I was blind
But I can suddenly see the light now the blinds are raised

Now, he's finally spoken
Winter's finally broken
Realise I'm heading for colder days

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He can feel it just around the corner
He can feel it on every breath
And something tells him its good, goodbye summer
And something tells him it's the kiss of death

[Chorus]
Losing at the tracks, loosens all his taps (I smell winter)
I smell winter on his breath (ah-ah ah-ah ah)
There's a chill down my spine, but the weather's fine (I smell winter)
I smell winter on his breath (ah-ah ah-ah ah)

[Verse 2]
You better button up your coat
Or it will catch you in the pit of the throat
You can certainly feel the wind blow when you're by yourself
And when the snow has finally melted
You better think about who you shelter
'Cause one of these days it might just be someone else

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And he's searched underground and overground for a partner
Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw
He's looked through tins and rubbish bins just for an answer
So far, each year he's drawn the shortest straw

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I smell winter (I smell winter)
I smell winter (I smell winter)
I smell winter (I smell winter)
I... (I smell winter)

[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I smell winter (I smell winter, ah-ah ah-ah ah)
I smell winter (I smell winter, ah-ah ah-ah ah)...
