The past few weeks it has continued to be Winter around here in all its glory. Snow, Wind, Cold, Blizzard Warnings and everything else Winter related. And it is April, usually a time of warmer weather, Spring showers and a look forward to Summer.
I couldn't help but get out my guitar and write a song about this Winter. It is definietely not a love song. But it comes from the heart. You can listen to it over on the podcast. Just go to www.solidrockminnesota.com and scroll down to the podcast episodes. Enjoy
Sung to the tune of Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
lyrics: Susan Engström McAuliffe
Hello Winter you were my friend
But I’m tired of seeing you again
You never seem to want to disappear
Even though Spring is oh so near
You stay and keep on snowing
And being cold
Winter you’re growing old
Down the driveway I try to go
But there’s too much ice, there so much snow
I slip and slide and finally hit the ground
Buried in snow with drifts all around
And I pray someone will find me
Before I freeze
My toes and knees
And in the early morning day
I hear the weatherman say
Another storm out West is coming here
So don’t you put away your snow gear
Because once again you’ll need it
To fight the snow
Winter you’re growing old
I’m such a fool thinking Spring
When there’s still snow on everything
It seems we never ever see the sun
Will the warmth of Spring ever come
Or is this what climate change is
A big white abyss
Winter you’re growing old
Someday soon it will be Spring
We will sweat and forget everything
It will seem like Winter was never here
With mosquitoes buzzing in our ear
And we will long for a cooler days
Looking through the haze
Of a never ending Summer
