Winter


snow can wait I forgot my mittens wipe my nose
put my new boots on I get a little warn in my heart when
I think of winter I put my hand in my father's glove I run
off where the DRIFTS GET DEEPER sleeping beauty trips
me with a frown I hear a voice "you must learn to stand
up for yourself cause I can't always be around" he says
when you gonna make up your mind when you gonna love
you as much as I do when you gonna make up your mind
cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast all the white
horses are still in bed tell you that I'll always want you
near you say that things change my dear
boys get discovered
as winter MELTS flowers competing for the sun years go by
and I'm still here waiting withering where some snowman
was mirror mirror where's the crystal palace but I only can
see myself SKATING around the truth who I am but I
know dad the ice is getting thin hair is grey and the fires
are burning so many dreams on the shelf you say I wanted
you to be PROUD of me I always wanted that myself he
says when you gonna make up your mind when you gonna
love you as much as I do when you gonna make up your
mind cause things are gonna change so fast all the WHITE
HORSES have gone ahead I tell you that I'll always want
you near you say that things change my dear
