I know I´m only Shelly´s winter love She only seems to need me now and then I know I´m only Shelly´s winter love But she´s mine alone till springtime comes again
When springtime comes, I know that she´ll be leaving When those friends of hers start calling her from town So I lie and wait for Shelly´s winter season When her troubled moments bring her back around
I know I´m only Shelly´s winter love She only seems to need me now and then I know I´m only Shelly´s winter love But she´s mine alone till springtime comes again
When Shelly´s painted world turns cold and stormy It´s then she finds the need to come around To these arms of mine she knows are always waiting
But she´ll leave when love has thawed the winter ground
I know I´m only Shelly´s winter love She only seems to need me now and then I know I´m only Shelly´s winter love But she´s mine alone till springtime comes again
