[Verse 1]
In the coldest time of year
The strangest gift has found me here
Where boardinghouses used to be
Now these torn shades are all I see

[Verse 2]
From a window up above
I hear old voices begin cascading
Then stop awhile and then
The medicine is already fading
If not for you, I'd rather go
To the harbor down below
To all my friends I'll always miss
Don't have time for one more kiss

[Verse 3]
All along the road
The trees and the wind seem to be weaving
And off the avenue
The morning is already leaving
It's time I quit and did the same
Gone from the terrace down to St. James
To take a look at what I've known
But did not know how to tell you so
To all my friends I'll always miss
Don't have time for one more kiss
