Sting – You Only Cross My Mind In Winter (Guitar)

C     G             C
Always this winter child,

           Dm       G7              C
December's sun sits low against the sky

Am    B               Am
Cold light on frozen fields,

                     D      G
The cattle in their stable lowing.

      C        G            C
When two walked this winter road,

             Dm           G7             C
Ten thousand miles seemed nothing to us then,

Am   B                Am
one walks with heavy tread

                        D          G4  G
The space between their footsteps slowing

G                    A7
All day the snow did fall,

                                      Dm
What's left of the day is close drawn in,

             C                 A     A7
I speak your name as if you'd answer me,

         F                        C
But the silence of the snow is deafening

F                        G
How well do I recall our arguments,

     C                     F
Our logic owed no debts or recompense,

   Dm                      G7
Philosophy and faith were ghosts that we would chase until

              C     D    D7  G
The gates of heaven were broken

C                              G
But something makes me turn, I don't know,

    Cm                     G
To see another's footsteps there in the snow,

              F                            Dm
I smile to myself and then I wonder why it is

                  G       G7   C
You only cross my mind in winter
