[Intro]
(Winter coming)
Winter push on (push)
Oh, winter push on (push, push)
(Winter is so long)
Winter moves on

[Verse 1]
The last night on Maudlin Street
Goodbye house, goodbye stairs
I was born here and I was raised here
And I took some stick here

[Verse 2]
Love at first sight may sound trite
But it's true, you know
I could list the detail of everything you ever wore or said
Or how you stood the day
As we spent the last night on Maudlin Street
"Goodbye house, forever!"
I never stole a happy hour around here

[Verse 3]
Where the world's ugliest boy
Became what you see
Here I am, the ugliest man
Oh-oh-oh, the last night on Maudlin Street
Truly I do love you
Oh, truly I do love you
