Lyrics

It’s gonna be a long ass winter without you here

Verse I:
Half Cherokee and lovely as the day is long
And the other half must be some type of angel
Great Spirit who am I to’ve felt her perfect love
And did you take her just to test my heart’s conviction
Sure it’s gonna be a little colder now

Chorus:
It’s gonna be a long ass winter without you here
‘Cause I’ve been thinkin’ about the December that we had last year
Reminiscin’ about the sweetness that you whispered in my ear
May the coldness fade like your love
It’s gonna be a long ass winter

Verse II:
Her hair is of the raven but it’s often hard to see
that she sometimes likes the darkness more than living
She listens to the whispers of the wind inside her heart
longing to carry her from sight and far from struggle

Verse III:
A lover may come along but then she’ll turn and set him free
for no man has the strength to bear the weight within her
or so she tells herself to keep them blindly stranded at bay
just long enough to see herself become the martyr
Sure it’s gonna be a little colder now

Chorus:
It’s gonna be a long ass winter without you here
‘Cause I’ve been thinkin’ about the December that we had last year
Reminiscin’ about the sweetness that you whispered in my ear
May the coldness fade like your love
It’s gonna be a long ass winter

Bridge:
You know I can’t stand to see you
No I can’t stand to see you with another
You’re supposed to be mine
You’re supposed to be mine

Chorus (softly):
It’s gonna be a long ass winter without you here my friend
‘Cause I’ve been thinkin’ about the December that we had last year
Reminiscin’ about the sweetness that you whispered in my ear
You made the coldness fade like your love
It’s gonna be a long ass winter

Half Cherokee and lovely as the day is long
And the other half must be some type of angel
