winter lady

Joni Mitchell

Winter lady, where you going
With your hair all soft and loose like snowin'?
Winter girl, December child, don't run away.
Winter lady, walking sadly, does your lover
Treat you badly? Do you dream or wish on stars
To hear him say, "Oh, winter lady,
I won't hurt you, I won't cheat you,
I won't desert you, winter lady. You need lovin',
I need lovin', too. I need lovin' you."

Staring out your winter window
At a silver sky you know you've been to
In a kiss upon a day before a spring.
Winter lady, cry those crystal tears.
He won't know what he's missed
Till love's too late; you've changed your mind,
And it's my turn to sing, "Oh,
Winter lady, I won't hurt you, I won't cheat you,
I won't desert you, winter lady. You need lovin',
I need lovin', too. I need lovin' you
