Come Winter
(Noel McKay, Rick Brantley, Copyright 2012)
Come winter you will need someone to hold you.
Come winter you will need someone to comfort you, I know.
To wrap his arms around you when the northers start to blow
And to lead you like a yearling through the snow.
Come winter you will long for me, I know.
Should springtime loose the icy grip upon you,
You'll find you're just reminded of the tenderness we know.
Ache will set in slowly, like water cracks a stone,
Like the first pale bit of green, through solver, shows.
Come summer, pain will blossom like a rose.
Our long lost child haunts the autumn moonlight.
Like every time before she lures you out into the night.
You tremble in the darkness as the dew begins to freeze
And I find you walking barefoot through the leaves.
Come autumn you will reach and not find me.
Come winter you will need someone to hold you.
Come winter you will need someone to comfort you, I know.
To wrap his arms around you when the northers start to blow.
If grief has killed your love for me, then go
But come winter you will long for me, I know.
Come winter you will long for me, I know.
Come winter you will long for me, I know.
