Winter, deepfreeze, winter…

by Bill Callahan

Got no symbol in my pocket
Gor no pillow for my head
And thought winter,it gets stronger
Got to ease my achin' head
In the morning' when I wake up
Got this feelin' deep inside
And I wonder if I'm dyin'
Of I'll go out of my mind
I've this helpless awful feelion'
When I stumble thought the crowd
It stiil sends my senses reelin'
Knowing winter comes too proud.

WINTER RETREAT
Now winter in face from my face My heart will no
longer race Since mind got from the sky Mostly
pulls eyes from me eyes Warm breezes back to my
soul Did it show that I grows

CHEATER
I got home late this evening, stumbled up the stair
I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked in the bedroom there
My woman with a man was lyin' fast asleep
I felt a rage inside me, control I couldn't keep
She was a cheater
I reached the dressing table, kicked away the door
I gripped the cold black metal, a loaded .44
By this time they're awake and they don't know what to do
I scream you cheatin' bitch here's what I think of you
You are a cheater
They both pleaded for mercy, I said no way
When you do this upon me, you have no say
I treated you so real good, and this is what you do
Oh no I've finished with you, your time is through
You are a cheater
If you need a cheater there's nobody sweeter than this one
There's no neater, come on here and meet her
Cheater, cheater, cheater, come on and meet her...
