Winter - Susie Suh

Oh, winter

We are falling

We are hiding

We are hibernating

In the depths of the wake

In the depths of the dark

In the depths of the wake

In the depths of our dreams

And so it seems

That winter comforts me

When we come inside the eye of the storm

As we sit by the fire and watch the embursts burn

Oh, can you feel the warmth inside our cave

As we drink our wine and forget about our days

Winter, on my knees

Winter, begging please

Winter, I will say, snow again today

So, that we can hide away

Oh, winter…

While the bears sleep

And the owl hoot

And the wolves cry

And the dogs bark out

And the birds sing loud

I will say what a glorious day

For us to hide away

It’s the silence inside that colors out the room

As we sit by the fire and watch the embursts burn

Oh, can you feel the peace inside our cave

As we drink our chamomile and reminisce about those days

Winter, on my knees

Winter, I will say, snow again today

So that we can hibernate

Oh, winter comforts me

Winter on my knees

Winter begging please

Winter, I will say, snow again today

So that we can hibernate
