Now the summer's gone
And the winter's coming on
And I wait for you
But I know that you have gone away from me
And I know, yes I know
It's gonna be a lonely winter

Just to walk alone
And leave all the love we've known
Autumn leaves will fall
Wish winter would only call you back to me
And I know, yes I know
It's gonna be a lonely winter

It, I know, could be a very long time
I can't make your love mine
Mine and mine alone
But I know that I can't make you love me
I can't make you want me
Till the winter's gone

Leaves begin to fall
And the trees begin to bare
Then I wait for you
But I know that you're not here
You've gone away
And I know, yes I know
It's gonna be a lonely winter
