A Song

Winter Song

It’s not snowing outside
The grass isn’t green
The sky is bitter
And the cold is grey

Chorus:
Hope fades when winter lasts for years
Spring comes too late
The barren ground cries out for life
But the call fades on the wind

Sometimes I light a fire
Just to warm my hands
But fires need fuel
And I’ve run out again

And it’s so cold out here

Chorus:
Hope fades when winter lasts for years
Spring comes too late
The barren ground cries out for life
But my call fades on the wind

And yet there are some days
When the sun breaks through again
And the trees all turn to diamonds
It’s still cold out
But the beauty takes my breath away
And hope breaths on the wind

Chorus:
Hope fades when winter lasts for years
Spring comes too late
The barren ground cries out for life
And hope breathes on the wind
Yes, hope breathes on the wind

And it’s still cold out here
