Lyrics: Winter kills
Winter kills
|
Green in your love on bright days You grew sunblind you thought me unkind To remind you how winter kills Lost in daydreams you drove too fast and got nowhere You rode on half fare when you got too scared How winter kills Tear at me searching for weaker seams Pain in your eyes makes me cruel Makes me spiteful tears are delightful welcome your nightfall How winter kills [credit: Moyet] |
Note: Voice and piano dominate this song, setting it apart from the synthesizer songs that fill the rest of ‘Upstairs at Eric’s’. The lyrics have a slightly sadistic undertone, though they are somewhat ambiguous.
A woman is teasing the man who loves her. Perhaps she loves him as well, but she doesn’t show it. Maybe she does this because she thinks their love will not survive the man’s rashness. But certainly she enjoys hurting him in this way. |
