Got no silver for my pocket
got no pillow for my head
and the winter it gets stronger
got to ease my aching head

In the morning when I wake up
Got this feeling deep inside
And I wonder if I’m dying
Or I’ll got out of my mind

I still get this awful feeling
When the snow falls to the ground
It still sends my sense reeling
Knowing winter’s come to town

About Lyrics and Winter by Judas Priest

When you decide to study the lyrics to Winter, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1974 song by Judas Priest. Some of the lyrics to Winter have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Judas Priest and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Winter if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Winter" means the words set to the music of Winter, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Judas Priest. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Winter and the lyrics to Winter are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Judas Priest who came here looking just for the lyrics to Winter, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
