no sun no heat repeat dark winter
dark days indeed
no moon no stars no sun dark winter
no black no white no heat dark winter
dark days indeed
turn it off!
The song "Winter" by [stranger]. is a heartfelt ode to a relationship that is perhaps not built to last. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that is fleeting, as the singer knows that he is only his lover Shelly's "winter love."

When spring comes and Shelly's friends call her uptown, he knows that she will leave him, but he waits for her return.
The singer's devotion to Shelly is apparent in his willingness to take her back every winter, despite the knowledge that their relationship is temporary. When her life turns cold and stormy, he is always waiting with open arms for her to return. His love is unconditional, even if it is not reciprocated in the same way.
The lyrics also hint at the idea that Shelly may be using the singer for comfort during difficult times. He speaks of her troubled moments bringing her back around to him, suggesting that he may be a source of emotional support for her. However, he accepts this role willingly, as he cherishes the time they have together.
Overall, "Winter" is a poignant song about the complexities of love and the bittersweet experience of knowing that a relationship is not built to last. It is a tribute to the beauty of transience, and to the power of love to bring people together even when they know they must eventually part ways.
