Four Ladies

Mickey Newbury

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
