Winter Blues

When old man winter starts to sing I often think of spring On those cold winter days when upon my head snowflakes play And I feel the winter's sting On the winter solstice the blues they ride with a tinge of charcoal gray Blowing cold winds far and wide To bring melancholy to the day You can even feel the shivers in your bones Before you step outside Gray the sky and blue the tones That in my soul abide
