Warm Me, Winter

Keep me waiting Keep me wondering For a while now If I'll make it Let me flounder in all the time I waste Leave me pacing Leave me groaning Cross the floors I'll Lay here moaning just Give me up to all I could find and face But warm me, winter Keep me off the shelf And choke what's bitter In haggard strains of felt Just hold me, winter Leave me in your wealth And take what's bitter Keep what's drained in health All the freckles On my fair skin All my life I've tried to hid them But I don't think that they'll fully go away Take these summers And their cold days Tale my boredom Know my old ways Are leading me to songs of such solemn pace But warm me, winter Keep me off the shelf And choke what's bitter In haggard strains of felt Just hold me, winter Leave me in your wealth And take what's bitter Keep what's drained in health
