Wintertime has spread its blanket on us
It's you and me again, as we lay down to rest
You put down your flowers and so have I
But it's not the first nor the last goodbye
Another year, another scar
That leaves its trace on who we are
Hang down your branches and soflty sway
While the wind carries all of our sins away
But when the leaves go green, with the coming of spring
We'll laugh and forget everything
And we'll drink and dance, dream about romance
Until winter creeps in again
You will survive me, of that I'm sure
And face many more winters to endure
But if you would let me I will lay down and sleep
And listen to the cry of your lonesome weeping
