Winter

Old man winter came up to my house

Late last night

He carved his name with his fingernails

All up and down the siding

Will you walk with me downtown

I won't make it on my own no no

That's what everyone has told me

So it must be true

I went and sat by the fireplace

But the flames were colder than the snow

So i knit a sweater from icicles

I'll give it to you you can wear it when i get cold

The birds have all flown south again

& so have you you gone right along with them

The animals sleep in their caves

There's no one left but me & that cold wind
