Winter Birds

Winter Birds Written by Gary D. Ward, Gary D. Ward, All rights reserved It doesn’t seem that long ago, we first walked through this door And the sounds of love and laughter once made this house warm Now the only sounds are the echoes of my footsteps in the hall And there’s a chill that hangs inside these empty walls And lately I am finding out, how loneliness sounds So I turn on the radio, to drown the silence out I never dreamed the time we had would have to end And It’s so hard to face this truth as it begins The world I’ve known is gone, everything has changed I guess I saw it coming, nothing ever stays the same The ruthless wheel of time devours everything I’ve known Like a flock of winter birds, that have taken wing and flown The winter faded fast, leaves on trees begin to grow The warm spring breeze is welcome, as it blows away the cold But with everything that’s new, something old is lost And with everything we lose there is a cost The world I’ve known is gone, everything has changed I guess I saw it coming, nothing ever stays the same The ruthless wheel of time devours everything I’ve known Like a flock of winter birds, that have taken wing and flown
