lyrics

Winter brings no mending to the fragile.
No glitter to the dearly departed
No joy to the broken heart.

Winter gives no breath to the hardworking.
No salvation to tired fingers.
No calm to the nervous soul.

Winter, you bully, here's my list.
Give the lost a well-lit pathway,
A present behind for the lonely to find.
And the tender a gentle day.

Winter brings no promise to the hopeless.
No easy break for the pessimist.
No sleep to the addled mind.

Winter gives no cushion to the freezing.
No welcome to the introvert.
No cup to the empty hand.

Winter, you creeper, here's my list.
Give the lost a well-lit pathway,
A present behind for the desperate to find.
And the tender a gentle day.
