Winter You're Growing Old




Solid Rock Minnesota show

Summary: <p>The past few weeks it has continued to be Winter around here in all its glory. Snow, Wind, Cold, Blizzard Warnings and everything else Winter related. And it is April, usually a time of warmer weather, Spring showers and a look forward to Summer. </p> <p>I couldn't help but get out my guitar and write a song about this Winter. It is definietely not a love song. But it comes from the heart. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Winter You're Growing Old</strong></p> <p><strong>words by Susan Engström McAuliffe</strong></p> <p>(sung to the tune of Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Hello Winter you were my friend</p> <p>But I’m tired of seeing you again</p> <p>You never seem to want to disappear                             </p> <p>Even though Spring is oh so near</p> <p>You stay and keep on snowing</p> <p>And being cold</p> <p>Winter you’re growing old</p> <p>Down the driveway I try to go                                                                  </p> <p>But there’s too much ice, there so much snow</p> <p>I slip and slide and finally hit the ground</p> <p>Buried in snow with drifts all around</p> <p>And I pray someone will find me</p> <p>Before I freeze</p> <p>My toes and knees</p> <p>And in the early morning day                       </p> <p>I hear the weatherman say                                   </p> <p>Another storm out West  is coming here</p> <p>So don’t you put away  your snow gear</p> <p>Because once again you’ll need it              </p> <p>To fight the snow</p> <p>Winter you’re growing old</p> <p>I’m such a fool thinking Spring                                             </p> <p>When there’s still snow on everything                                    </p> <p>It seems we never ever see the sun</p> <p>Will the warmth of Spring ever come</p> <p>Or is this what climate change is</p> <p>A big white abyss</p> <p>Winter you’re growing old</p> <p>Someday soon it will be Spring  </p> <p> We will sweat and forget everything                                             </p> <p>It will seem like Winter was never here                       </p> <p>With mosquitoes buzzing in our ear</p> <p>And we will long for a cooler days                               </p> <p>Looking through the haze</p> <p>Of a never ending Summer</p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/susan-engstr-mcauliffe/message
