Lyrics Winter Winds Blow - Mickey Newbury

And you are the one that I think of most often
Oh you were the first woman I came to know
But I was so young and the young have no wisdom
I should have loved you, so long ago
Oh I should have learned how to deal with my sadness
Althought at times I swear I do not know
When I'm happy or when it's madness
Should have loved you
So long ago, so long
Oh Dana your knees swallowed me like a wild flower
It was a weed that could not be controlled
Oh the roots were so deep in your unhappy childhood
But I understand now when the winter winds blow
Oh Dana I have learned how to deal with my madness
Although at times I swear I do not know
When I am happy or when it is sadness
Do you undertsand
When the winter winds blow
So long
And Susie you found me
When I was hopelessly lost and I did not know where to go
And you had the answer and we came together
But Susan I needed you too long ago
God knows I'm trying to deal with my sadness
Althougt at times I swear I do not know
When I am happy or when it is madness
Do you understand
Why the winter winds blow
Where the winter
Where the winter winds blow.
