BACK IN WINTER TOWN
©Trev Teasdel Coventry 1970 and Middlesbrough 1985 (2nd verse).
I persevered through persistent rain,
Believing that the sun must shine.
Through the thunder clouds, I kept my head
Wishing that the sun would shine.
I was isolated by deep frozen snow,
Believing that the sun would shine.
And the sun did shine, and it shone so bright
that it dazzled me.
Chorus
And the rain came down,
Now I’m back in Winter Town
And the rain came down,
Now I’m back in Winter Town
(Bridge)
I’m a ‘child of the snow’. I’m a ‘child of the snow’. I’m a ‘child of the snow’
I dug my way through fields of hurt
Believing I would find the key.
Through the gates of pain, I kept my head
Believing I would find the key.
I was left alone, in that nowhere zone
Believing that the key I’d find.
And the key did shine and it shone so bright
that it dazzled me.
Chorus
And the rain came down
Now I’m back in Winter Town
And the rain came down
Now I’m back in Winter Town.
(Bridge repeat)
