Winter Song
Sunset looks gray from my window
I close my eyes, and it burns through my eyelids
Like fire
Burning the dreams from my head
I’m bereft of a reason to face this season
without dread numbing my hopes
Want to reach out and touch by my fingers are frozen
Want to smile and love but my heart is broken
In pieces, scattered round on the floor
If I went out in the cold, could the world remind me
Of what I have lost and how I could find me again
Oh, could I bring myself back?
Could I follow the sun till its rays turned to gold
Till its heat thawed my senses and melted this old
fear that’s been crowding my mind?
(C) Oh, what would I find
if I could just open my eyes?
All I want is to be alive
Want to reach out and touch by my fingers are frozen
Want to smile and love but my heart is broken
In pieces, scattered round on the floor
I dream now of a day where the sunrise is warm
when my heart’s whole again and I’ve weathered this storm
It will come soon, I know that it will
All I can do is give life a chance
Do my best to admit I don’t lead in this dance
And smile as I’m swept away
(C)
