lyrics

I know waiting makes it sweeter but the time goes slow
if you dream of the leaves
the birds and the bees
the grass on the ground and the bluebells all around

I’ve seen Mother Nature shining like a silver queen
the white winter snow
in the pale morning glow
the grass isn’t green but there’s ice on the mountain stream

I guess some people see the cold and dark like loneliness
but keep the warmth near
this time of the year
is beautiful too but the sky’s not quite so blue

I’ve heard happiness and sorrow both are self-assured
the black and the white
the balance of light
the long winter night is a darkness that shouldn’t be cured
