Goodbye pork pie hat
Winter laden, the skies
Try to reason with it
Still no compromise
Down along the highway slow
Sorrow for company
It beats me ragged
As a cedar tree
I can't lay down these burdens
That time has gone
That time won't be again
I can't lay down these burdens
I can't lay down these burdens
That time has gone
That time won't be again
I can't lay down these burdens
This is my winter song
Feeling lost my friend
Like a hungry dog
I'm easily taken in
The cold and the lonely nights
When the visions start
Hand slips from mine
I wanna tear my heart apart
Hand slips from mine
I wanna tear my heart apart
I can't lay down these burdens
That time has gone
That time won't be again
I can't lay down these burdens
Like a hungry dog
I'm easily taken in
Like a hungry dog
I'm easily taken in
Like a hungry dog
