Winter

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos

 

Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm 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 alyways 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
I 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 here still 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 

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
I tell you that I'll always want you near 
You say that things change my dear

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

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

Never change

All the white horses
