Lyrics
WINTER'S SONG
WE STARTED OUT IN EARLY SPRING, HOPES WERE HIGH AND LOVE WOULD SEE US THROUGH, SETTLED ON A PIECE OF GROUND, FERTILE SOIL, MOUNTAIN VIEW.
MAYBE WE WERE JUST TOO YOUNG, I NEEDED SOMEPLACE THAT I COULD CALL MINE; I KNOW LIFE WAS HARD FOR YOU, I THOUGHT IF WE GOT THROUGH THE WINTER, WE'D BE FINE.
CHORUS: WINTER'S SONG IS EVERYWHERE, LISTEN AND YOU'LL HEAR IT IN THE TREES. WINTER DOESN'T TURN LOVE COLD, IT CAN HAPPEN EVEN IN A SUMMER BREEZE.
LONG BEFORE THE WINTER CAME, LONG BEFORE THE FIRST SNOW TOUCHED THE HILLS, I COULD FEEL A CHANGE IN YOU, THOUGH MY HEART WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT, NEVER WILL.
THE SUBTLE SIGNS WERE EVERYWHERE, I SHUT MY EYES, I CHOSE NOT TO SEE, LONG BEFORE THE LEAVES WOULD FALL, YOU SOMEHOW FELL OUT OF LOVE WITH ME.
REPEAT CHORUS:
YOU LEFT ME HERE IN AUTUMN, JUST BEFORE THE ASPEN TURNED TO GOLD, I DON'T MIND THE WINTER, BUT SOMEHOW THIS PLACE JUST SEEMS SO COLD.
THIS FARM WAS ALL I WANTED, NOW IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF WOOD AND STONE. YES IT WAS ALWAYS IN MY DREAMS, BUT IN MY DREAMS I WAS NOT ALONE.
REPEAT CHORUS:
