The Dead of Winter

Here under the cold winter sun, Beneath the old, lifeless tree, My winter mourning has begun, When no one comes to visit me. Left out here on the edge of town, Underneath the gray and gloomy sky, In a lonely cemetery, with not a soul around, Where every lone wintertime, I cry. As I lay here, frozen and numb, Crystal snowflakes are falling down, The dead of winter has finally come, Like icy teardrops upon the ground. The wind howls like a lonely, lost spirit, Through grass overgrown this December, And it still hurts me to hear it, That nobody even came here to remember. Icicles have formed on the iron gate, And the days now become dark so soon, Forever sealing in my forgotten fate, My only friend is the bright, shining moon. And so I'll just lie here all alone, No one will come until the spring, And while you are staying, warm at home, No one has left me flowers or anything.
