Verse

 There's a factory standing empty

 Where we built your Chevrolet

 And we sent our kids to college on a 40 hour wage

 But now the windows all are broken

 There's graffiti on the walls

 And the kids came home from college

 Took a job down at the mall

Chorus

 And the winter is getting longer

 And this town is frozen numb

 And I can't remember summer

 It feels like spring may never come

Verse 2

There's a half-full whiskey bottle

On the table by my bed

There's a hollow in the pillow

Where she used to lay her head

And all the dreams

And all the memories

Faded pictures and crooked frames

Hang in silence down the hallway

In the chill of what remains

Chorus 2

Now the winter is getting colder

And my heart is frozen numb

And I can't remember summer

It feels like spring may never come

Verse 3

Shades of hopeless on the faces

Of the souls who stand in line

And holy Jesus hangs on crosses

And I hear Mother Mary crying

Chorus 3

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Soon it all will disappear

Buried under the snows of winter

Just like we all were never here
