Black Winter Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is how the lucky feel
How the blessed man think
Like daybreak in spring
The sun on a spring morning
Like the flat brink of a cloud
Like a dark night in autumn

[Pre-Chorus]
But how do I feel
In my gloomy depths?

[Chorus]
This is how the lucky feel
How the blessed man think
Like daybreak in spring
Like the flat brink of a cloud
Like a dark night in autumn
A black winter day

[Verse 2]
This is how the lucky feel
How the blessed man think
Like daybreak in spring
Like the flat brink of a cloud
Like a dark night in autumn
A black winter day
No, darker than that
Gloomier than an autumn night
[Outro]
A black winter day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
