Winter Friend Lyrics - Yoko Ono

Once a friend told me of his experience 

That he had loved somebody and in pain 

He had slit his arm and sent the blood to her 

And that he was glad that it was over 

He had talked and made love like an expert 

But I had never seen his soul 

And his eyes had a sort of dead smile 

As if he wanted me to believe that he was still alive 

He was a winter friend to me 

We walked in the snow 

To Chinatown for noodles 

That was many years ago in another life 

Why do I remember it now? 

When I'd heard his story, I'd heard it like a car accident 

That I would never be in myself 

He was a winter friend to me 

We walked in the snow 

To Chinatown to noodle 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la 

Dee, la, dee, la, da, dee, la, la, la 

Now that I see my car slipping down the cliff 

And I'm desperately looking for the brake 

Don't let it happen to me 

Please don't let it happen to me 

I'm not ready to die or live a living death 

I'm not ready to die or live a living death 

I'm not ready to die
