Recorded on Cranford Ave in Lakewood, OH, off Madison Ave in west Cleveland, OH, and at The Triangle Cabin in West Farmington, OH
lyrics
True love is not a flash in the pan
It's a slow burning steady hand
It's hard to see around the bend
It's harder yet to find a friend
It's been a strange winter
The tail end of your darkest night
Is a light of day that feels so right
You can lose yourself to magic spells
You can lose your name to wedding bells
It's been a strange winter
You're the best thing that I've found
In the side street rivers that run this town
I won't try to make you stay
I trust you enough to let you go your way
The switch you pulled that no one else flipped
Was not your eyes, your hips or lips
The simple code that cracked
Was that from day one, you had my back
But it's been a strange winter
Leaves left on the ground
Dull green, gray and brown
It might be a record cold day
Or might be February rain
It's been a strange winter
