Winter

Old man winter came up to my house
Late last night
He carved his name with his fingernails
All up and down the siding

Will you walk with me downtown
I won't make it on my own no no
That's what everyone has told me
So it must be true

I went and sat by the fireplace
But the flames were colder than the snow
So i knit a sweater from icicles
I'll give it to you you can wear it when i get cold

The birds have all flown south again
& so have you you gone right along with them
The animals sleep in their caves
There's no one left but me & that cold wind
