Now the sun was in my eyes   So forgive me if I was blind   But I can suddenly see the light   Now the blinds are raised      Now he's finally spoken   Winter's finally broken   Realize I'm heading   For colder days      He can feel it just around the corner   He can feel it on every breath   And something tells him it's good goodbye summer   And something tells him it's the kiss of death      Losing at the tracks   (I smell)   Loosens all his taps   (Winter)   I smell winter on his breath      There's a chill down my spine   (I smell)   But the weather's fine   (Winter)   I smell winter on his breath      You better button up your coat   Or it will catch you in the pit of the throat   You can certainly feel the wind blow   When you're by yourself      And when the snow has finally melted   You better think about who you shelter   'Cos one of these days   It might just be someone else      And he's searched underground and overground for a partner   Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw   He's looked through tins and rubbish bins just for an answer   So far each year he's drawn the shortest straw      Losing at the tracks   (I smell)   Loosens all his taps   (Winter)   I smell winter on his breath      There's a chill down my spine   (I smell)   But the weather's fine   (Winter)   I smell winter on his breath      I smell winter   I smell winter   I smell winter   I smell winter      And he's searched underground and overground for a partner   Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw   He's looked through tins and rubbish bins just for an answer   So far each year he's drawn the shortest straw      Losing at the tracks   (I smell)   Loosens all his taps   (Winter)   I smell winter on his breath      There's a chill down my spine   (I smell)   But the weather's fine   (Winter)   I smell winter on his breath      I smell winter   I smell winter   I smell winter
