Текст песни Long Lonely Winter - Joe South

We used to walk along the seashore you and I
And watch the purple sunset paint the summer sky
But as the summer grew old
Our love grew cold
Now, it's over and I don't know why
Our love is just a memory
And if you don't come back to me
It's gonna be a long, lonely winter without you

Why can't the summer magic last the whole year long, long, long
So that vacation love could stay and not go wrong?
But the wind seems to know
I'm gonna miss you so
'Cause it's singing such a lonely song
And without you I would be
Just like the driftwood on the sea
It's gonna be a long, lonely winter without you

Every day I reminisce among my summer souvenirs
Dreaming of your tender kiss and holding back the tears
I like to think we'll meet again along the shore
And that we'll fall in love just like we did before
So while we're apart
I'll hold you in my heart
'Til I hold you in my arms once more
And as time marches on
I miss you more each day you're gone
It's gonna be a long, lonely winter without you
Mm-mm, yes it will
