Winter is upon us now; it's true the Blue Ridge's freezing
Night begins before I’m ready
It descends on the sky prematurely.
My energy fades throughout the day
No longer can you sit and enjoy the last rays.
I’m scared of the wind and the bitter cold
Especially what the darkness can hold.
Things that were seen are lost in the night
I’m safer inside, with a candle for light.

But soon the sun will decide to stick around for long
Light triumphs dark once more,
That’s when life begins a new song.
