remember tumble weeds on an empty road
that coffee pot on a burnin' stove
the Christmas tree in a place a called home
that's what I miss the most

this drifting leaves fall to the ground
I scoop them up and I throw them down
I close my eyes and I start to count
the lonely people leaving town

and I feel like a monkey in winter
and you are a lizard in the sun
yes I feel like a monkey in winter

say hello to something new
is what a friend told me to do
'cos beggars can't be choosers and I can't afford to loose
we never touched we never kissed
we never loved though we thought we did
so I walked away and I called it quits
what the eyes don't see, you know the heart won't miss

but I feel like a monkey in winter
and you are a lizard in the sun
yes I feel like a monkey in winter
and winter's just began

remember summer long ago
the sun beats down, the air was clean
it came and went away [bad word] and go
but do you, do you remember me?

remember tumble weeds on an empty road
coffee pot on a burnin' stove
the Christmas tree in a place a called home
that's what I miss the most

we never touched we never kissed
we never loved though we thought we did
so I walked away and I called it quits
what the eyes don't see, you know the heart don't miss

but I feel like a monkey in winter
and you are a lizard in the sun
yes I feel like a monkey in winter
and it looks like winter's gone
