Cold and Hot

by Michael C. Shivar

Coming from the land where the cold wind blows
Lakes freeze over and the blizzards dump snow
Temperature drop, three changes of clothes
Pink-tinted cheeks and frostbit nose

Love you now just the same
No weather there for me to blame
Love you now just the same
No weather there for me to blame

Pristine beaches and baby blue sky
Beach umbrella and a twinkle of the eye
Dolphins surface and seabirds fly
SP 5 and sunburn cry

Love you now just the same
No weather here for me to blame
Love you now just the same
No weather here for me to blame

Hours back and miles away
Sending letters every day
Never knowing what you'll say
Or what your words might betray

Love you now just the same
No time or words for me to blame
Love you now just the same
No time or words for me to blame
