Frozen in Time

When the winds through the valleys blow And the grounds are covered in snow Thoughts become should I stay or go Before the rivers cease to flow There are those waiting for the change Which comes in spring upon the range That's when their lives break free from chains Of yesterday and all it claims The sheep upon the mountain tops Move lower down in search of crops They will watch each stone that drops Standing fast 'till the sound stops The open plains on the far side Hold fast the secrets nature hides There are changes they won't abide And throw their cautions to the tides We heat the rooms by candle's flame As Mother Nature plays the game We're like the drops of frozen rain Ne'er to return from whence we came
