lyrics

Time to turn the fire on
And cover up all of your skin
Didn't you hear, winter is near
The winds are coming in

Didn't we fly so high though
Through a summer without a cloud
It was too bright to see you looking at me
Wondering when to bring me down

Oh a friend of mine he picked me up off the floor
He said 'hey little sparrow what are you crying for?
You shouldn't fly so high if you can't take a fall'

I told him
It's a father's kind word
A mother's kind touch
It's the sound of a city asking too much
Oh it's only a winter's blues

It's the rains coming down
It's him never coming round
It's the sound of my darling letting me down
Oh it's only a winter's blues

Oooooh

So I'm sticking close to the ground now
I'm gonna drive on down to Italy
I've never been there but I heard it's a place where
Loving flows free

Maybe I'll fill my room with roses
And fill my mind with wine
Nothing to see here just let me be here
Til the summertime

Oh that friend of mine he picked me up off the floor
He said 'hey little sparrow what are you crying for?
You shouldn't fly so high if you can't take a fall'

I told him
It's a father's kind word
A mother's kind touch
It's the sound of a city asking too much
Oh it's only a winter's blues

It's the rains coming down
It's him never coming round
It's the sound of my darling letting me down
Oh it's only a winter's blues

Oooooh
