Winter’s Calling

Winter’s Calling

All my hopes and good thoughts
Pent-up in a hole
Chased by cloudghosts growling
Growing day by day

Looomig large above me
Whispering lower thoughts
Into my mind into my soul.

Hey winter’s calling
My mind is sinking
Into grey
Tall clouds they’re falling
Bury laughter
Taking all that’s blessed away
Coldness gets his prey
Life fading away

Winter’s taking his toll
Spirits shrinking small
Darkness comes no way to stop it
Cover me.
Crawling right into my dreams
Subtly smothering the smiles
Painting in cold colors grey.

Hey winter’s calling
My mind is sinking
Into grey
Tall clouds they’re falling
Bury laughter
Taking all that’s blessed away
Coldness gets his prey
But I know
Life is coming back
Yes I know
Life is coming back
We’re gonna be o.k.
Someday
