I wish I were an autumn leaf covering the ground

I wish I were a cold Nor'easter, blowing them around

But I'm under all these layers, Long John and sweater-bound

And it's a long time 'til spring

It's a long time 'til spring

It's a long, long time 'til spring

It's only now November, we're already complaining

It's a long time 'til spring

I wish I were a candle, burning in the night

I wish I were an evergreen, all trimmed with twinkle lights

But I'm under all these layers, out of mind and out of sight

It's a long time 'til spring

It's a long time 'til spring

It's a long, long time 'til spring

It's not a Christmas carol, but you can hear us sing

It's a long time 'til spring

I wish I were a snowflake, floating in the, the breeze

I wish I were a blizzard, to blanket all the trees

But I'm under all these layers, so that I will not freeze

It's a long time 'til spring

It's a long time 'til spring

It's a long, long time 'til spring

January is a new year, but it don't mean a thing

It's a long time 'til spring

Wish I were a snowplow to clear away the drifts

I wish I were a snowbird, fly away from all of this

But I'm under all these layers, it's really is the pits

It's a long time 'til spring

It's a long time 'til spring

It's a long, long time 'til spring

February gives us all the blues, it's really depressing

It's still a long time to spring

I wish a were a ski lift, gliding up the slopes

I wish I were a warm snap to raise all of our hopes

But I'm under all these layers, by now we know the ropes

It's a long time 'til spring

It's a long time 'til spring ('til spring)

It's a long, long time 'til spring

March comes in like a lion, out like a hornet's sting

It's still a long time 'til spring

It's a long time 'til spring ('til spring)

It's a long, long time 'til spring

Well, April should bring showers, but it's probably still snowing

It's still a long time 'til spring
