Winter Song Lyrics

I can't say that I miss my old dog much
And I've never looked back since I left home long ago
But I hoped a trip into the country
Would help remind me all the things I used to know

That's what I came for
That's what I hoped for

There...

The songwriter
Brad Roberts makes himself a weirdo, apparently knowing some kind of Christian -perhaps especially Catholic- faith but not holding fast to it. Several of his songs concern death and some pretty weird sexual thoughts, and he ends up doing concerts dressed as a transvestite cowboy.
Putting it all together
Putting it together, it seems he has a morbid fascination with death -drownings- by risky behaviour riding across the lake, which he calls ‘good blood’ -bravery? It made life interesting for him to hear about who drowned being a hero riding across the ice lake as he did. His dog probably also died, but it is not that he misses his dog. He wants to remember all the stories of drownings, and is discontent this year in his visit -his trip back to his country home- because he can’t remember the drownings in detail and wishes he had written down more or the morbid stories. Memories of drownings in the lake are what he came back hoping for.
