The Winter is Long



The winter is long, it will never be over

The snow is deep neath a cloudy sky

But here's a house that was made for two,

And we'll keep warm, my love and I.

I make the coffee at the break of day

I watch the birds as they come and go

Sometimes I wish I could fly away

And not remain in this world of snow.

A car there is, coming down the road

O would it were someone coming for me

But it goes on -- someone I don't know --

And disappears into the trees.

I lean'd my back up against the wall

And felt the cold like a ghostly hand

And heard mortality gently call

Your life is short, live it while you can.

Oh love is handsome and love is fine,

It shines so steady, brave and true

I could not live except you were mine

And so I've come to be with you.

The winter is long, it will never be over

The snow is deep neath a cloudy sky

But here's a house that was made for two,

And we'll keep warm, my love and I.
