Winter Has Me in Its Grip

don mclean

 

From the album "Homeless Brother", released August 1974, this song came to me through my good buddy Roy Bakkeng (1953-2011). We played and worked together in the good old days. I owe him my preference for Don McLean, the McGarrigles and Al Stewart. And my interest for photography as well. Not to forget an Ovation Balladeer ...


winter has me in its grip
think I'll take a summer trip
on a sunny sailing ship where the shells lie in the sand

I feel so lonely : I'm too young to feel this old
I need you and you only
when the weather gets this cold

no use in going cause it's cold inside my heart
and it's always snowing
since the day we broke apart

I try to run from winter like spring and summer run to fall
but when the weather's inside you
there's no hiding place at all
