In the month of April my mood begins to drift
Moving like an earthquake, a continental drift
Remember our last parting, we barely said goodbye
Don’t you know it’s Winter in the heart

As you hung up the phone
It chilled me to the bones
I face the coldest winter on my own

I gave my love forever when I could barely see
Changes in the weather would wear on you and me
It’s easy now to see it when things all fall apart
Don’t you know it’s Winter in the heart

I couldn’t understand, I thought we had it planned
What would I know, I’m just a mortal man

I know I still love you, it lingers every hour
Always thinking of you, the sweetness and the sour
I couldn’t solve our riddle, I never was that smart
Don’t you know it’s Winter in the heart

As you can probably tell, there’s no end to this spell
I face the winter chill all by myself

I used to live with passion, but now I live in shame
Fallen out of fashion, I tarnished my own name
Let me find a way back, I need to make a start
Back out of the Winter of the heart

We shiver, Feel the blizzard blow
Frost over, Buried in the snow

I crave the summer sun, Our warmth has come undone
Don’t you know it’s Winter in the heart
Don’t you know it’s Winter in the heart
