Let the Winter Come
©2006 Richard March


Let the winter come, let the winds blow
Kiss the sun goodbye, let the clouds roll
Bring a cold rain, send a light snow
Let the winter come, make me feel at home

Give me naked trees through the sunrise
Give me evergreens on the mountain high
Whisper in the wind ancient holy hymns
Let the winter come, let me breathe again

Spring's a memory, summer stayed too long
Fall's a fickle friend, she's here and gone
When the earth gets tired singing growing songs
She finds winter's arms and love so strong

Let the winter come, let the winds blow
Kiss the sun goodbye, let the clouds roll
Bring a cold rain, send a light snow
Let the winter come, make me feel at home

Spring's a memory, summer stayed too long
Fall's a fickle friend, she's here and gone
When the earth gets tired singing growing songs
She finds winter's arms, a love so strong

This valley wind needs a washing down
The summer rains never hang around
So, let the showers fall, breathing air so sweet
Let the winter come, make me feel complete

Let the winter come
Let the winter come
Let it come
