Winter in the sticks
from Taxidermy (Brought Back To Life) by Mr. & Mrs. Smith
lyrics
Winter in the sticks
chorus
Oh the woods they talk about Winter time’
it’s cold and damp and things go blind
by the time
the colors come around
this ol lake will surely drown
limbs are fragile you can hear them snap
wild go hungry and get caught in a trap
there’s a cabin few trees up
enough smoke to share a puff
you’ll hear hollering and shots to the lead the way
They called him Ol Man Jack
and in these woods he answers back
as long as the colors aren’t around
for only then you’ll find him face down
chorus
But as far as this show goes the moon she knows
Winter Blues ain’t got nothin but her and fire
and by the time the colors come around
All the while claimin their ground
It’s a nice warm sunny day
all the children go out and play
but not till midnight will you hear their laughter
chorus
