SEVEN WINTERS LONG

Winter's in my eyes

Will the sun never rise?

Icicles in my veins

Where the season

Remains the same

Gray skies in my head

Where the trees of hope

Are bare and dead

Cold winds are in my heart

Give me a jump start

Lonely trees

Bare of leaves

Winter breeze

Blows the snows

That drift

Sift

Through the frozen grass

Cold sun overhead

Shows a landscape

Gray an' dead

Frozen tears

The sky does shed

My love is seven winters long

No blanket to warm my heart

No pillow to rest my soul

Father Winter is upon me now

Icy kiss

Chilling embrace

'Tis the season within me

Snow
