Honey, you are the one that I think of most often.
|
Oh, you were the first woman I came to know.
|
But I was so young, and the young have no wisdom,
|
Sharon, I loved you so long ago.
|
|
Oh, Sharon, I've learned how to deal with my sadness,
|
Although at times, I swear, I do not know,
|
When I am happy, or when it is madness,
|
Sharon, I loved you so long ago. So long.
|
|
[Short instrumental break.]
|
|
Whoa, Detta, your needs swallowed me like a wildfire.
|
It was a weed that could not be controlled.
|
Oh, the roots were so deep in your unhappy childhood,
|
But I understand now, when the winter winds blow.
|
Oh, Detta, I have learned how to deal with my madness,
|
Although at times, I swear, I do not know,
|
When I'm happy, or when it is sadness.
|
Do you understand when the winter winds blow? So long.
|
|
[Vocal sylings.]
|
|
Then Suzie, you found me, when I was hopelessly lost.
|
And I did not know where to go.
|
And you had the answer and we came together,
|
But, Susan, I needed you too long ago.
|
|
God knows, I'm trying to deal with my sadness,
|
Although at times, I swear, I do not know,
|
When I'm happy, or when it is madness.
|
Do you understand why the winter winds blow?
|
|
Where the winter, where the winter winds blow.
