Since I met you, How can I notice if the sky is blue or grey But here I am, Standing outside looking into a cloudy day This must be the time for reflection, My direction is not quite clear Now I feel the air is colder, Now I feel that winter's here Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter I feel the breeze, I feel dejected, I feel a part of a love that's gone We're in this world to take some chances, from your glances I see it's wrong Winter's here, and it's a long one, to be alone and in the cold Brother sun, you cast a shadow, now I need my lonely role. Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter

Who are we to say who we must obey to get much better, ooh to get much better, Who are we to say there's only one way to read the letter, A decision to make and here I must be sure it will not break me, Not a friend in the place to say to my face if I'm right or if I'm wrong. Who are we to say what we must throw away, it doesn't matter, ooh it doesn't matter This is for me, this is for you, it's not inspiring it's not the right thing I can't accept some things, irrespective of how long you tell me You can make me give in but that's because I'm stronger than I should be. I don't believe you, I don't believe the things you say There's another way, I can choose to take There's another way and it's for me to make When there's a voice to tell you the choice, you will remember, ooh you will remember Know what to take, what decisions to make without thinking I can't accept some things, I never will say yes when I don't mean to, You can make me give in but that's because I'm happy when I'm with you. I don't believe you, I don't believe the things you say There's another way, I can choose to take There's another way and it's for me to make

When you're out in front and your life is unsure What have you got goin' for you after every road you turn It's magic when you tell me, and run your fingers through my hair I don't need your persuasion, 'cos I'm already there. I just read it through and I said to myself That's not really you, I'll keep myself to myself It's magic when you tell me, and write the words I want to see When I reach the last line, it's just empty for me. I've been learning so long, about the things you do I've been learning so long about you, about you. Empty pages, I've read you all through Empty pages filled with spaces, I fell in and I fell in Empty pages, I've read you all through Empty pages filled with spaces, I fell in and I fell in

Love comes to everyone some are weak some strong I'm not strong today They've took her back, brought the curtain down What can I do now, I'm afraid, I'm afraid to think about it. What a life, it gets better as it goes along. I've been in love, I've been left standing 'till I said is that what I want Oh no, there's got to be another smile on my face I don't care about the money I make or what it can do I'm alive, and that's what's important to me I don't need someone to tell me you'll get along, you'll get along Who to please, and who to watch over me. What a life, it gets better as it goes along. And there's an old man calling me for a long time I'm never able to get his face off my mind He always said to me, take it easy, take it easy And all the things you want will come easy,
