Monkey In Winter Lyrics - Sinead Oconnor

Remember tumble weeds on an empty road 

That coffee pot on a burnin' stove 

The Christmas tree in a place a called home 

That's what I miss the most 

This drifting leaves fall to the ground 

I scoop them up and I throw them down 

I close my eyes and I start to count 

The lonely people leaving town 

And I feel like a monkey in winter 

And you are a lizard in the sun 

Yes I feel like a monkey in winter 

Say hello to something new 

Is what a friend told me to do 

'Cause beggars can't be choosers and I can't afford to lose 

We never touched we never kissed 

We never loved though we thought we did 

So I walked away and I called it quits 

What the eyes don't see, you know the heart won't miss 

But I feel like a monkey in winter 

And you are a lizard in the sun 

Yes I feel like a monkey in winter 

And winter's just began 

Remember summer long ago 

The sun beats down, the air was clean 

It came and went away 

Things come and go 

But do you, do you remember me? 

Remember tumble weeds on an empty road 

Coffee pot on a burnin' stove 

The Christmas tree in a place a called home 

That's what I miss the most 

We never touched we never kissed 

We never loved though we thought we did 

So I walked away and I called it quits 

What the eyes don't see, you know the heart don't miss 

But I feel like a monkey in winter 

And you are a lizard in the sun 

Yes I feel like a monkey in winter 

And it looks like winter's gone
