It's getting lighter all the time
House Martin sings, I feel a tingle in my spine
Winter's frost begins to slowly fade
Behind the clouds the sun is trying to embrace
Behind us is the dark that at one time it did consume
And I hold out as summer fights to break forth from the womb
It's light begins to warm the heart and to dispel the shivers
Be joyful, oh my soul, the summer's one day nearer, one day nearer
The rains may come, the floods may rise
The wind cuts through and all around there's charcoal skies
Whispers tell that summer's coming
The dark is lifting, earth weakens from its slumber
Behind us is the dark that at one time it did consume
And I hold out as summer fights to break forth from the womb
Its light begins to warm the heart and to dispel the shivers
Be joyful, oh my soul, the summer's one day nearer, one day nearer
One day nearer, One day nearer, One day
One day nearer, One day nearer, One day
It's getting lighter all the time
House Martin sings, I feel a tingle in my spine
Winter's frost begins to slowly fade
Behind the clouds the sun is trying to embrace
