Ecco il testo di Winter nella versione per il film Brothers, per cui ha ricevuto una nomination ai Golden Globe Awards (vedi news). Il testo è leggermente diverso dalla versione di Winter presente nel DVD Linear allegato all'album No Line On The Horizon.



Winter (Movie version)



The yellow sun

Well it took the hand

Of a country boy

To a city in a far off land



We made no mark

Left no shadow at all

On the ancient holy streets

Where I learned to crawl



24

Not making sense

I kept a diary

Of my experience



The broken and the bruised

The young and the used

The sure and confused

All here



Words would find me

Creep up behind me

Break and enter through every locked door



Rhymes began in me

Summer sang in me

But summer sings in me no more



Now I’m 25

I'm trying to stay alive

In a corner of the world

With no clear enemies to fight



It's hot as hell

We're like butter on toast

And there's no army in this world

Can fight a ghost



The scared and the brave

The saint and the slave

Some in their grave

All here



Words would land on me

Then abandon me

Mangle, untangle me

Leave me on the floor



Spring it sprang from me

Summer sang in me

Summer sings in me no more



[Chorus]

Oh…



So glad you made it home

Home in time

The day that’s light

So glad you made it home

Made it in time, the daylight…

Winter (Linear Version)



The yellow sun

Well it took the hand

Of a country boy

To a city in a far off land



We made no mark,

No shadow at all

On the ancient holy streets

Where I learned to crawl



The broken and the bruised

The young and the used

The sure and confused, all here



Words will land on me

Then abandon me

Mangle, untangle me

Leave me on the floor



Rhymes they sprang in me

Summer sang in me

But summer sings in me no more



Now I'm 25

I'm trying to stay alive

In a corner of the world

With no clear enemies to fight



It's hot as hell

We're like butter on toast

But there's no army in this world

That can fight a ghost



The broken and the bruised

The young and the used

The sure and confused, all here

The silence on the foreign ground

Listening to the calls

I was born a son

And on that day I knew

I could kill
