Words & Music: Mort Shuman
I'm sorry now girl, but I must leave you
There's something deep inside my soul keeps calling me
The winter wind girl, will not deceive you
And in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me

You'll see me coming, you'll see me going
Don't ask me why, I'm just the kind needs to be free
Just like that outlaw wind keeps on a-blowin'
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me

Now I know you loved me just like I wanted
I know you'd follow me across an endless sea
But baby I've got a heart that's haunted
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me

Ah but you should know girl that I'll be crying
Out on that lonely road where not a soul can see
I'll shed my tears for a love that's dying
Yeah, in your cold and empty bed, you'll think of me, oh yes
You'll think of me

The summer sun girl will bring a stranger
And he'll be better to you than I used to be
And when he takes you into his arms girl
Well, in your warm and loving bed, you won't think of me, no, no
You won't think of me

Then in your warm and loving bed, you won't think of me, no, no
You won't think of me
Recorded: 1969/01/14, first released on single

Pure gold from Elvis, not since the early 60's had Elvis sounded so good and up to date. What a difference 18 months had made. The good times were back.

Great song. Great arrangement. Elvis at his peak. This is my fave track on the 'Back In Memphis' album.

One of his great songs of the 70s ...or should I say,late 60s.

This is an excellent songs. It flows great and reveals a modern confident artist. The guitar is also perfect. Top 5 from American Studios!

I like it. Elvis coming a long way from just the prior year when he was still singing songs like Five Sleepy Heads. Good arrangement, good song & vocal. This is the American studios sound all the way.

One of my 69-favorites!

A song that was completely overshadowed by the amazing Suspicious Minds when they were released as a single in 1969. Perhaps that is why I never got to play the song very much as the A side was so special. Not a favourite but a thousand times better than the movie output from the mid 1960s.

Not a song that I like, boring and ordinary.

A great song, with perfect vocals by Elvis and superb backing, recorded at the "Memphis Sessions" of 1969. This is my favorite song from the LP "Back In Memphis" and it is a song that I never get tired of hearing. It doesn't have the emotion of the big ballads of the 70's ("You Gave Me A Mountain" etc), but there is just something about this song that makes it irresistible. I remember first hearing this song as the flip side of "Suspicious Minds" and I remember thinking how different it was from anything he had recorded previously. Later Elvis would do songs that are similar in structure such as "The Next Step Is Love", "It's A Matter Of Time" and "Thinking About You" and while I enjoy those songs, this one is a better, in a word, perfect.

Great performance by Elvis. The alternate performance that´s included on the Suspicious Minds release is my favorite version, although the master is the classic one

A very mature song for Elvis in the 60's...and does a fine job.
