Winter Song |
When Winter’s shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street |
And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet |
Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete |
Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat |
When winter… comes howling in |
When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music thru your head |
And your rain splattered windows make you decide to stay in bed |
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead |
Or do you pull the bedclothes higher, dream of summertime instead? |
When winter… comes howling in |
The creeping cold has fingers, that access with permission |
And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the condition |
Do you spare a thought for the gypsy with no secure position |
Who’s turned and spurned by village and town, at the magistrate’s decision? |
When winter… comes howling in |
When the turkey’s in the oven, and the Christmas presents are bought |
And Santa’s in his module, he’s an American astronaut |
Do you spare a thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts |
Who gut busted just for talking, and befriending the wrong sorts? |
When winter… comes howling in |
When winter… comes howling in |
When winter' shadowy fingers first persue you down the street |
And your boot’s no longer lie about the cold around your feet |
Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete |
Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat |
When winter … comes howling in |
