about

Written after a break-up as I sat in the livingroom of a cabin during a strong winter storm and watched our windows bend and flex with the howling gusts.

lyrics

The same cold wind blowin' against my window
The same cold wind comin' out of the dark night
The same cold wind keeps cryin' and cryin'
You're never gonna get it right.

Don't even try you're too old and tired
Don't even try you might as well lay down and die
Don't even try and don't you know,
You're never gonna get it right.

Never gonna get it right
Never gonna get it right no no
You're never gonna get it right and don't ya know
You're never gonna get it right.

The same old time keeps roundin' and roundin'
The same old rhyme "I can't never depend on you"
The same old story weary with tellin'
You're never gonna get it right.

Never gonna get it right
Never gonna get it right no no
You're never gonna get it right and don't ya know
You're never gonna get it right.
