Keep me waiting
Keep me wondering
For a while now
If I'll make it
Let me flounder in all the time I waste
Leave me pacing
Leave me groaning
Cross the floors I'll
Lay here moaning just
Give me up to all I could find and face
But warm me, winter
Keep me off the shelf
And choke what's bitter
In haggard strains of felt
Just hold me, winter
Leave me in your wealth
And take what's bitter
Keep what's drained in health
All the freckles
On my fair skin
All my life I've tried to hid them
But I don't think that they'll fully go away
Take these summers
And their cold days
Tale my boredom
Know my old ways
Are leading me to songs of such solemn pace
But warm me, winter
Keep me off the shelf
And choke what's bitter
In haggard strains of felt
Just hold me, winter
Leave me in your wealth
And take what's bitter
Keep what's drained in health
