Mickey Newbury - Four Ladies Lyrics
Honey, you are the one that I think of most often.Oh, you were the first woman I came to know.But I was so young, and the young have no wisdom, Sharon, I loved you so long ago.Oh, Sharon, I've learned how to deal with my sadness, Although at times, I swear, I do not know, When I am happy, or when it is madness, Sharon, I loved you so long ago. So long.[Short instrumental break.]Whoa, Detta, your needs swallowed me like a wildfire.It was a weed that could not be controlled.Oh, the roots were so deep in your unhappy childhood, But I understand now, when the winter winds blow.Oh, Detta, I have learned how to deal with my madness, Although at times, I swear, I do not know, When I'm happy, or when it is sadness.Do you understand when the winter winds blow? So long.[Vocal sylings.]Then Suzie, you found me, when I was hopelessly lost.And I did not know where to go.And you had the answer and we came together, But, Susan, I needed you too long ago.God knows, I'm trying to deal with my sadness, Although at times, I swear, I do not know, When I'm happy, or when it is madness.Do you understand why the winter winds blow?Where the winter, where the winter winds blow.
