Lyrics

it is the winter time of year, a time for all my troubled thought-dreams to come clear, and all the seasons i held dear, seem to have gone and left me 'lone, with winter only here, lonely, forever dreaming, my life is teeming with a yearning, i'd like to be learning, and it's summer out on the street, sunflakes fall, snowrays call, hey mama, it's me saying "awwww.", the policeman walks a most solitary beat, i feel at odds with the summertime, ice is in my heart and winter's in my mind, i watch the snow upon my blinds, as people walk in shorts and sandals, everywhere outside, lonely, forever hiding, caught in the icy hide of winter, outside it's warm and sunlight glimmers, and it's summer out on the street, sunflakes fall, snowrays call, hey mama, it's me saying "awwww.", the policeman walks a most solitary beat, oh, when days are marked by winter's time, spring and summer counts come racing to my mind, within my heart the seasons never come inside, at times i hate and curse the world for making winter mine, lonely, forever dreaming, my life is teemed with a yearning, i'd like to be learning, and it's summer out on the street, sunflakes fall, the snowrays call, hey mama, it's me saying "awwww.", the policeman walks a most solitary beat
