Song of the Evergreens - Chicago

Listen to the briskly whistling winter evergreen

Whispering through the frozen morning light

And tell me what’s to come

Saying my time is near

Never fear

How close each year

I’m winter

Reminding me to trade my t-shirts for my woven wools

Trade my sandals for my skis

Whispered warnings in the wind

Saying soon come the dancing snowflakes

They’re kissing every tree

They’re kissing you and me

Please hurry

Falling

Dazzling dancing diamonds from the sky

Prisms

Rainbow sparkled flurries in our eyes

Whipping across the frozen crystal metal pines of ice

Race the snow

We’ll spend the mornings by our bed

They cuddle close and wine and dine

The setting sun

The morning light will blind those eyes

Shooting down the glistening

Outside

Screaming through the whispering pines

The freedom of each day

Will cleanse our minds

I can hardly wait for winter

I can hardly wait for the snow

I can hardly hardly wait for winter

I can hardly wait for the snow

Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
