Bye bye cold winter It's written in green 'cross the town When I left here seven days ago My mind and my heart were both sleeping Bye bye to the loneliness I felt when I lay in your arms It was safe but now I'm sorry You'll see me no more come the morning In my mind, the winter fades the pink of the magnolia to white In my mind, it's him not you that's kissing me goodnight Bye bye to the TV nights I'll dance on the beach until dawn And we'll knock back the tequila And sing back the dark from the day So bye bye false love forever Who just liked the sweet parts of me Well it's time to be young free and easy It's time to forgive our shortcomings In my mind, I'm staying out, I'm shouting out, I'm seeing things anew In my mind, I'm never never coming home to you Bye bye cold winter I'll paint it in red 'cross the town Let each stranger be my friend again Let this long road of life be our home
