Such simple things you fail to see,
You take back everything you ever give.
Such simple things you fail to see,
You take back everything you ever give.
And when you're bitten by the truth,
You blame it on your mis-spent youth,
You never seem to learn by your mistakes.
From the day I was born
Title Jinx was my name.
Though I tried and I tried,
That name still remained.
Now some men like the fishin',
and some men like the fowlin',
And some men like ta hear, a cannon ball a roarin',
Me I like sleepin',
specially in my Molly's chamber.
I hear voices all singing,
But no one's there...
It's the ghost of my life,
Bringing past tense to mind.
Lock and key here ties me
From the freedom and sin.
I'll give you every thing I can.
I'll build your dreams with these two hands.
We'll hang some memories on the walls.
And when there's silver in your hair,
You won't have to ask if I still care,
'Cus as the time turns the page,
my love won't age at all.
It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale.
Why should the world take notice
Of one more love thats fail.
It's the love that could never be
Though it meant to love to you and me
On the world wide scale
With just another winters tale.
The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door.
Anyway the snow is covered all your foot steps
And I can follow you no more.
The fire still burns at night
My memories are warm and clear.
But everybody knows
It's hard to be alone at this time of year.
Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind
Way up in the sky.
Every move that I make
Seems to be the wrong way
Like a cold black night
After a summer's day.
What can I do?
What can I do?
Nothing's the same as it used to be...
Nothing's the same as it used to be...
What can I do?
