Winter Sun - Esperanza Spalding

Once autumn’s glow

Has gone away

And gray cotton clouds

Blanket drowsy days

You’re the winter sun

Once fallen leaves

Have lost their crunch

And turn to confetti

Brown and orange

I know soon

You’II come tame the whip of the wind

And bathe the naked branches with warmth and light

When tired bones tremble

From the cold

One kiss of your warmth

Heals the soul

Shine winter sun

Make this cold heart whole

Once autumn’s glow

Has gone away

And gray cotton clouds

Blanket drowsy days

I know soon

You’II come tame the whip of the wind

And bathe the naked branches with warmth and light

You’re the winter sun
