Shelly`s Winter Love — текст песни (Merle Haggard)

I know I`m only Shelly`s winter love
She only seems to need me now and then
I know I`m only Shelly`s winter love
But she`s mine alone till springtime comes again

When springtime comes I know that she`ll be leavin`
When those friends of her`s start callin` her uptown
So I live and wait for Shelly`s winter season
When her troubled moments bring her back around

I know I`m only Shelly`s winter love
She only seems to need me now and then
I know I`m only Shelly`s winter love
But she`s mine alone till springtime comes again

When Shelly`s painted world turns cold and stormy
It`s then she finds the need to come around
To these arms of mine she knows are always waiting
But she`ll leave when love has thawed the winter ground

I know I`m only Shelly`s winter love
She only seems to need me now and then
I know I`m only Shelly`s winter love
But she`s mine alone till springtime comes again
