Wintertime

Hard winds and rain just swept away
all that reminded of summer
Birds on the run followed the sun,
flied to the south in great numbers
Then the wind from the east made it come to freeze
And all found safety in hiding
And the sun's shining low on the first fallen snow
that covers the sleeping world

Wintertime, and the earth seems dead, looking bare and sad
World in white, such a lovely thing,
just a screen for the new life in spring

When the days are drawing out and winter's all about
The sun takes the long way to summer
Just when snowdrops come to grow
through the rests of melting snow
Most of these cold days are numbered
Then the earth will regain its showers of rain
And all what's reminding of springtime
Growing leaves on the trees and the birds and the bees
Then spring will be all around

Wintertime, now the earth seems dead, looking bare and sad
World in white, such a lovely thing,
just a screen for the new life in spring

Wintertime, now the earth seems dead, looking bare and sad
World in white, such a lovely thing,
just a screen for the new life in spring
