[Verse 1]
When the moon's at its lowest place in the sky
And the city around you is still
I come back to the place where we started it all
And wait for you, my love, I will

[Pre Chorus]
I would sacrifice the promise that I made before you took my hand
I would wander blind and hungry like a stranger in a stranger land

[Chorus]
If my pleading don’t surprise you and if nothing satisfies you
Then ragged alone I stand
In the dead of winter

[Verse 2]
If I had the moon and the stars and more diamonds than I could spend
I'd betray them all for the brush of
Your cheek, and betray them, darling, I will

[Pre Chorus]
I would justify the demon who's desire’s running through my veins
I would crawl through the gutter just dragging that ball and chain

[Chorus]
I would give up my possessions and all of my discretions 'til nothing more remains
But the dead of winter
[Bridge]
Gonna call the lawyer, call the teacher
Call the preacher, call the doctor said to take my pills
Gonna call the madman on the telly say we had our fill

[Instrumental Solo]

[Pre Chorus]
I would sacrifice the promise that I made before you took my hand
I would wander blind and hungry like a stranger in a stranger land

[Chorus]
If my pleading don't surprise you and if nothing satisfies you
Then ragged alone I stand
In the dead of winter
