First Snow

The first snow fell down on the woods again And I built a fire of oak and madrone And I let it burn, burn in an orange glow And I filled that glow with song Oh it's been a hard, hard long winter And it isn't halfway done And I find it hard sometimes to remember How to love myself again Yeah it's been a hard, hard long winter And it isn't over yet But the first snow fell in a blaze of song And if I treat myself well It will make me strong It will make It will make me strong
