Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©1999 Moockshake Music
The days are getting short and the nights are getting cold
And I’ve been lying in this bed since dawn
January comes and January goes
I think I’ll just lie here ’til it’s gone
Chorus:
Don’t you know the winter dark and cold
Holds me back from who I am
Don’t you know this happens every year
And when it’s over, I’ll be back again
The darkness pushes up against the light
Even ‘fore the working day is done
And I would give my hands and the eyes that let me see
For one more hour looking at the sun
And when the night has come and I’m resting in my house
You might call or I might ring your phone
Please don’t be alarmed if I sound far away
I’m still here, it’s just that I’m not home
Chorus
The spring’s not just a time, it’s the time I’m looking toward
The spring and you are all that keep me going
And until I find you both I’ll just keep on lying here
‘Cuz I’m not going outside while it’s snowing
Chorus
