Oh, those winter blues

I could hear the cold winds blow
     from the corner of my room,
I'm wrapped up in by bedding
     and I feel like a cocoon.

I've been here for days on end,
     shivering from the wet damp;
There's no heat that comes to me
     from my small reading lamp.

How long can each winter last
     is something I'd love to know;
Springtime can't come fast enough,
     putting end to cold and snow.

It's hard up in these mountains
     when the dry wood's hard to find;
Holes in the roof do not help,
     it was just not well designed.

I know the weather will change
     and somehow I will get through;
Still they never go away,
     those repeating winter blues.
