about

A melody I had different lyrics to for almost 20 years; the winter of 2018-19 led to these lyrics.

lyrics

Been a long, cold winter
Made of short, dark days;
Half the world is waitin’
For the sun to change its ways.

There's a south wind blowin'
Haven’t felt it since the fall.
Now the ice is breakin'
And the umpire says "play ball."

Hey, I can read it Yes, I believe it
Every time the days start to extend
Oh, I concede it Well, I’ll just leave it
See the forest for the trees again.

[Solo]

Still the days go slowly
While the years turn fast,
And the future beckons
From the frozen past.

There's a resurrection
Just around the bend;
Time to start things over
Bring the dead to life again.

Hey, I can read it Yes, I believe it
Every time the days start to extend
Oh, I concede it Well, I’ll just leave it
See the forest for the trees again.
