Wintersleep - Tennyson

Winter sleep, winter sleep

Take another nap until the frost is gone

Winter sleep, winter sleep

And dream that it’s never been cold

Winter sleep, winter sleep

Now is not the time to live an honest life

Winter sleep, winter sleep

A grave inside the mouth of the snow

I could always sing along

Say that I feel just like the song

But it won’t work this time

It won’t work this time

Now it’s obvious to me

Life isn’t like the melody

It won’t work this time

It won’t work this time, for me

Winter sleep, winter sleep (try not to fall asleep)

The music ends and silence takes the sun away

Winter sleep, winter sleep (try not to fall asleep)

I’ll tuck myself in and wait this out

I could always sing along

Say that I feel just like the song

But it won’t work this time

It won’t work this time

Now it’s obvious to me

Life isn’t like the melody

It won’t work this time

It won’t work this time, for me

What’s it going to take to wake me up?

What’s it going to take to wake me up?

What’s it going to take to wake me up?

What’s it going to take to wake me up?

You could try and sing along

Say that you feel just like the song

But it won’t work this time

It won’t work this time

And you cry because you see:

Life isn’t like the melody

That won’t work this time

That won’t work this time, for you
