Winter Has Me In Its Grip - Don McLean

Winter has me in its grip

Think I’ll take a summer trip

On a sunny sailing ship

Where the shells lie in the sand

I feel so lonely

I’m to young to feel this old

I need you and you only

When the weather gets this cold.

That’s why

Winter has me in its grip

Think I’ll take a summer trip

On a sunny sailing ship

Where the shells lie in the sand

There’s no use in going

Cause it’s cold inside my heart

And it’s always snowing

Since the day we broke apart

Winter has me in its grip

Think I’ll take a summer trip

On a sunny sailing ship

Where the shells lie in the sand

I tried to run from winter

Like this spring and summer run to fall

But when the weather’s in you

There’s no hiding place at all, that’s why

Winter has me in its grip

Think I’ll take a summer trip

On a sunny sailing ship

Where the shells lie in the sand
