The Old Man sat out front and watched As the sky started to change The clouds were forming quickly They were looking rather strange He said "It's time to round  'em up" "Get ready for a ride" "We've got to get the horses" "And get them all inside" "A day, maybe two at most" "We'd best get set to hunker down" "It won't be long before" "We see more white than brown" "Those clouds on the horizon" "The way they dip and make that hole" "That's the Window Into Winter" "On that, I'd bet my soul" He walked into the bunkhouse Grabbed his gear, and looked around He yelled, "That's The Window Into Winter" "Snow, will soon be on the ground" Now, normally, the clouds roll in There's a storm and then the snow With The Window Into Winter It gives us time, it lets us know "Someone get a list made" "We need supplies, and need them fast" "That Window won't stay open" "It's gonna close, it will not last" "Heed the Window into Winter" "It gives us one more chance before" "Jack Frost and all his helpers" "Come knocking at our door" Now, remember when you see it Between the clouds up in the sky There's a hole between the mountains And that says, that Winter's nigh It's The Window Into Winter Now get along and get to work Bring the horses in and hurry There's things to do, so do not shirk Once the hole has closed up tightly And the clouds are all but one Then The Window Into Winter Will be no more, the fall is done.

Window Into Winter
The Old Man sat out front and watched As the sky started to change The clouds were forming quickly They were looking rather strange He said "It's time to round  'em up" "Get ready for a ride" "We've got to get the horses" "And get them all inside" "A day, maybe two at most" "We'd best get set to hunker down" "It won't be long before" "We see more white than brown" "Those clouds on the horizon" "The way they dip and make that hole" "That's the Window Into Winter" "On that, I'd bet my soul" He walked into the bunkhouse Grabbed his gear, and looked around He yelled, "That's The Window Into Winter" "Snow, will soon be on the ground" Now, normally, the clouds roll in There's a storm and then the snow With The Window Into Winter It gives us time, it lets us know "Someone get a list made" "We need supplies, and need them fast" "That Window won't stay open" "It's gonna close, it will not last" "Heed the Window into Winter" "It gives us one more chance before" "Jack Frost and all his helpers" "Come knocking at our door" Now, remember when you see it Between the clouds up in the sky There's a hole between the mountains And that says, that Winter's nigh It's The Window Into Winter Now get along and get to work Bring the horses in and hurry There's things to do, so do not shirk Once the hole has closed up tightly And the clouds are all but one Then The Window Into Winter Will be no more, the fall is done.
