The nights are colder now Maybe I should close the door And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps And I can follow you no more The fire still burns at night The memories are warm and clear But everybody knows It's hard to be alone this time of year It was only a winter's tale Just another winter's tale And why should the world take notice Of one more love that's failed? A love that can never be Though it meant a lot to you and me On a world-wide scale We're just another winter's tale While I stand alone A bell is ringing far away I wonder if you're here I wonder if you're listening I wonder where you are today Good luck, I wish you well For all that wishes may be worth I hope that love and strength Are with you for the length Of your time on earth It was only a winter's tale Just another winter's tale And why should the world take notice Of one more love that's failed? It's a love that can never be Though it meant a lot to you and me On a world-wide scale We're just another winter's tale It was only a winter's tale Just another winter's tale And why should the world take notice Of one more love that's failed? It's a love that can never be Though it meant a lot to you and me On a world-wide scale We're just another winter's tale We're just another winter's tale

Throw away, your yesterday A cautionary tale where there's nothing left to gain Tell me, how'd your soul collapse? A haunted past Just excuses I know that you are Violent chemistry Your toxic enemy Watching while I burn Hurting just because you like it A happy nihilist Endless horizons You could pick any sunset but you're eclipsing me Try to decipher The endless path that took you to your personal wasteland Hopeless causing pain Violent chemistry Your toxic enemy Watching while I burn Hurting just because you like it A happy nihilist I try to float along with the tide I try but we still seem to collide I try to reset and override

The machine of a dream Such a clean machine With the pistons a pumpin' And the hubcaps all gleam When I'm holding your wheel All I hear is your gear With my hand on your grease gun Ooh, it's like a disease, son I'm in love with my car Got a feel for my automobile Get a grip on my boy-racer Rollbar Such a thrill when your radials squeal Told my girl I'd have to forget her Rather buy me a new carburetor So, she made tracks, saying "This is the end now" "Cars don't talk back" "They're just four-wheeled friends, now" When I'm holding your wheel All I hear is your gear When I'm cruisin' in overdrive Don't have to listen To no run-of-the-mill talk jive I'm in love with my car (In love with my car, in love with my car) Got a feel for my automobile I'm in love with my car (In love with my car, in love with my car) String back gloves in my automo-love

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah You're taking all my sunshine away Making out like you're the main line (I knew that) 'Cause you're a cool cat Tapping on the toe with a new hat Ooh, just cruising Driving along with the swing king Feeling the beat of my heart Feeling the beat of my heart Ooh, you're a cool cat Coming on strong with all the chit chat Ooh, you're alright Hanging out and stealing all the limelight Messing with the beat of my heart Ooh, messing with the beat of my heart, yeah You used to be a mean kid Ooh, making such a deal of life Ooh, you were wishing and hoping And waiting to really hit the big time But did it happen, happen? No, you're speeding to fast, slow down Slow down, you'd better slow down, slow down You really know how to set the mood And you really get inside the groove Cool cat Tapping on the toe with a new hat Ooh, just cruising Driving along like the swing king Feeling the beat of my heart Feeling the beat of my heart, yeah Feeling the beat of my heart Can you feel it? Feeling the beat of my heart, yeah, yeah Feeling the beat of my heart Ooh, ooh, feeling, feeling Feeling ev'ry feeling
