Janis Ian
In the Winter [Live on The Old Grey Whistle Test]
[Verse 1]
The days are okay
I watch the TV in the afternoon
If I get lonely
The sound of other voices, other rooms are near to me
I'm not afraid
The operator
She tells the time, it's good for a laugh
There's always radio
And for a dime I can Talk to God, dial-a-prayer; Are you there?
Do you care? Are you there?
[Chorus 1]
And in the winter
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old
I am wiser now, you know
And still as big a fool
Concerning you
[Verse 2]
I've mеt your friend
She's very nicе, what can I say?
It was an accident
I never dreamed we'd meet again this way, you're looking well
I'm not afraid
You have a lovely home
Just like a picture—no, I live alone
I found it easier
You must remember how I never liked the party life; Up all night Lovely wife, you have a lovely wife
[Chorus 2]
And in the winter
Extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater getting old
You are with her now, I know
I'll live alone forever
Not together, now
