Winter covered by clouds

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcomed. ~Anne Bradstreet

Winter seen from outside

Winter - lets conquer it and make it a time to remember !

And it's sure been a cold, cold winter 
And the wind ain't been blowin' from the south 
It's sure been a cold, cold winter 
And the light of love is all burned out 

It sure been a hard, hard winter 
My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground 
And I hope it's gonna be a long, hot summer 
And the light of love will be burnin' bright 

And I wish I'd been out in California 
When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out 
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle 
And the restoration plays have all gone 'round 

It sure been a cold, cold winter 
My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground 
And the fields has all been brown and fallow 
And the springtime take a long way around 

Yeah, and I wish I'd been out in Stony Canyon 
When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out 
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle 
And the restoration plays have all gone 'round 

Sometimes I think about you, baby 
Sometimes I cry about you 
Lord well well well

Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you 
Sometimes I wanna keep you warm 
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you 
Sometimes I wanna burn a candle for you 

When the night falls

Once the night falls, a whole new world awakes, releasing secret wishes sparkling in the dark...

The night gang started working
With a mile of southern road
As I watched
I got to thinking
You ain't never coming home
I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help
To get through to you
I'm here making night calls

Night calls
Making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls

I tried too hard to reach you
But you must be moving fast
All my hopes about the future
Will just live on, Into the past
You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Sittin here
In the chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made

Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Let it ring
The night calls
Making night calls
Oh, night calls
Give up those night calls
