When the winter came you were not around
Through the winter wind love could not be found
Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love, my love?

When the winter came you went further south
Parting from love's nest, leaving me in doubt
Where are you when I need you, like right now, my love?

Our love is at an end
But you say now you have changed
But tomorrow will reflect our love's past

When the winter came you were not around
Through the bitter winds love could not be found
Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?

I looked but you were gone, you were gone, you were gone
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, oh why

Spring will fill the air, you will come around
But is it summer love that will let me down?
Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?

Where were you when I needed you, my love?
