Winter Winds

cll the things to say On my dying day You know the winter winds, will one day settle down cnd all this talk of spring will push us off the ground Oh I believe in you more than you can now know If I could stay right here, I'd never let you go This is an old refrain I used to sing to you You had your mother's eyes, you weren't even two When we left ft green you were still in our arms We tried the best we could to keep you safe from harm cnd in the end, in the end... We crossed the Brooklyn bridge. We crossed the ocean wide. We sold all of our things. We kept our open eyes. More the century, took more than our blood and bones More than just me and you to make this place our home If you love someone, don't be afraid to fall What could it mean to win when you can't lose it all I know the stars they fall. Sometimes the sky falls too. Sometimes a long freight train don't stop for me or you cnd in the end, in the end, keep your heart opened Yeah this is an old refrain I sang when you laid down Though it may sound the same, everything's different now. I know you'll walk away over that mountain there If I could go with you, follow you everywhere. cnd there are things so hard. I wish they wouldn't bruise. Everyone that you love, you will one day lose. cnd one day I'll have to go, I'll travel further still. cnd I will not return no matter how strong my will. But you know these winter winds will soon be settling cnd even the sun will shine. One day it will be spring. Oh it's hard, I know to carry on Go with grace. my son
