It happens oh so often
And still every single time
Hands are numbed,
Warmth succumbed,
Shivers down your spine

Like a beaten path
Footsteps in the snow
Scent of pine
Walk up mine
If I have one to show

My stories like Saint Nick
And yet you still believe
Words so cold
No hand to hold
Only born to deceive

I brought this on myself
Remember the summer heat
I changed it all
Brought snow fall
And the winter we repeat

Golden green to blackened white
We lose the glowing smile
But I can’t hide
If I’ve lied
It eats at me after a while

We all can see it come
Say goodbye to all your leaves
Frozen bark
Skies so dark
And I hide behind my sleeves

Somehow you’ve forgiven
And you bud at the sight of spring
But I still cry
Because another lie
Brings back the winters sting


I wish  sunshine could stay
But how will I be true?
I have a feel
That if I’m real
Red will be the only hue

I need you and you need me
Through all the words and pain
I will pray
For the day
Where I at least bring back the rain

You never give up you always think
That maybe I will shift
Let down my guard
I try so hard
To give that special gift

If you asked I’d tell you what
I think you should give in
But I know you won’t
Cause I know you don’t
Neither I nor thou can win

I’ll be fake and you’ll be sad
The winter is here to stay
Flowers gone
Clouded dawns
Until like the snow we lay
