Winter is over

One two three,

[Verse 4]
         
Winter is cold

 now
             
And all that I

Good then, I k

Or: winter was

  
 hard
             
We drove fast,

Stayed as long

        
 as we had to
             
Didn't come ba

         
ck for weeks
      
When we return

ed
             
We went straig

          
ht to the bar
            
To an unfamili

    
ar bed
             
And uncomforta

     
ble sheets
