A WINTER'S TALE
David Essex


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 
My memories are warm and clear 
But everybody knows It's hard to be alone at 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 
(It's)a love that can never be 
Though we meant to love to 
You and me 
On a worldwide scale 
We're just another winter's tale 
Why I stand alone 
A bell is ringing far away I wonder if you hear 
I wonder if you 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
