Winter Song
Chris Rea Lyrics

It's a cold, cold feeling
The temperature is extremely low leading to a feeling of intense coldness.

On a real lazy wind
The wind is slow yet it manages to permeate through the layers of clothing robbing the body of its warmth.

That blows all the way through you
The wind feels like it is capable of passing through the body.

And the autumn begins
The song talks about the onset of autumn which is characterized by a drop in temperature.

How it cuts like a saber
The cold is able to cut through the skin much like a sharp sword would.

How it chills to the bone
The intense chill of the cold feels like it permeates through the bones of the body.

You've got cold feet and fingers
The extremities of the body such as the toes and fingers are feeling extremely cold.

And you're thinking of home
Due to the uncomfortable feeling of the cold, the person in the song is thinking of a warm, comfortable place, possibly home.

If I put my arms around you
The artist offers a solution to combat the cold by embracing someone.

Turn you in from the storm
The person being embraced is being protected from the cold and windy weather outside.

From your autumn through winter
The artist seeks to protect the person from the onset of cold weather during the autumn season till the winter.

Darling I'll keep you warm
The artist is offering to keep the person they are embracing warm.

My overcoat's empty
The artist's overcoat has ample space for a person to fit inside.

Deep, wide and long
The overcoat is spacious enough to accommodate a person comfortably.

I got room for you darling
The artist assures the person being embraced that there is enough room for them to fit inside the overcoat.

Till your winter, till your winter has gone
The artist hopes to keep the person warm through the winter season till it ends.
