Janis Ian — In the Winter

[Verse 1] The days are okay I watch the TV in the afternoon If I get lonely The sound of other voices Other rooms are near to me I'm not afraid [Verse 2] The operator She tells the time It's good for a laugh There's always radio And for a dime I can Talk to God, dial-a-prayer Are you there? Do you care? Are you there? [Chorus] And in the winter Extra blankets for the cold Fix the heater getting old I am wiser now, you know And still as big a fool Concerning you [Verse 3] I met your friend She's very nice, what can I say? It was an accident I never dreamed we'd meet Again this way You're looking well I'm not afraid [Verse 4] You have a lovely home Just like a picture No, I live alone I found it easier You must remember how I never liked the party life Up all night Lovely wife You have a lovely wife [Chorus] And in the winter Extra blankets for the cold Fix the heater getting old You are with her now, I know I'll live alone forever Not together now [Outro] Ooh, ooh
