Coyotes are screaming up on the ridge
Another year over and under the bridge
And I'm out here somewhere, guess I've got free
But now Father Winter is here and he's leaning on me
I don't want your money, don't want your vow
Don't want your love, ain't got time for it now
Sure don't want pity, unless it comes free
'Cause now Father Winter is here and he's leaning on me
Well she saves her daggers for love and she uses them well
She'll find a a victim tonight, oh yes this I can tell you
Angels on fire, O Winter come break the spell
Love is a lesson, love is a curse
Depends on the lover as to which one is worse
And I'll run through the seasons from her sweet tragedy, oh yes I do
And now Father Winter is here and he's leaning on me
