Before You Go

looking out a window
as your coffee drips
more snow and freezing cold
how many more winters
before you go

you're dreaming of the mountains
of saguaro and endless sun
a taste of dreams you know
how many more winters
before you go

you know her love is true
indiscretions painting yours
a cold wind that always blows
how many more winters
before you go

as you move away
closer to your fantasy
in dreams you move too slow
how many more winters
before you go
