Winter

In dead of winter Lit up like the stars Snow falls from street lights And on to the cars As the days get colder Smoke rises up high To signal Saint Nick Way up in the sky But this winters different Because I’m not at home I’m here in Korea But I’m not alone See I joined the army And now I am here But I found my love The one I call dear It’s different you see But the snow still falls And deep in the distance I hear whispers call Hello my family I’ll be coming home soon But I’m not coming home alone So make some room for two
