Winter Lady

by Joni Mitchell

Winter Lady, where you going
With your hair all soft and loose like snowing
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 loving
I need loving too
I need loving 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 missing
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 loving
I need loving too
I need loving you
