"WINTER & RAIN"

"The French have a custom when they drink wine, they spill a little on the ground to return something back to the earth from which they’ve taken. I wrote this song on a bleak March day, thinking who could care for anything so cold & foreboding? But then you only get as much as you give, good or bad, right?."
HERE IN THE COLD, UNSAFE & ALONE
I SHARE THIS SPACE HERE WITH YOU
NEVER THOUGHT I’D MEET, SOMEONE LOST LIKE ME
AS EACH OF US HERE IN THIS STORMSO ON A CRUEL LONELY EVE, IF YOUR HEART IS IN NEED
THERE ARE SOME WITH, NO HOPE AT ALL...chorus...
WHO WILL LOVE THE WINTER NOW, WHO WILL LOVE THE RAIN
WHO WILL LOVE THE COLD & SNOW, WHO WILL EASE THEIR PAIN
WHO WILL GENTLY HOLD THEM, UNTIL THEY SOFTLY FADE
FORGIVE BUT NOT FORGET THEM FOR, THEY STILL BREATH AGAIN
LOVE CAN SATE, THE HUNGER THAT
WE HAVE, HERE IN OUR SOULS
IT MADDENS ALL SAINTS & EVEN THOSE
WHO THOUGHT, THEY WOULD NEVER KNOWTHE PASSION & PEACE, ALL THE GLORY RELEASED
WHEN WE EACH BARE OURSELVES TO OUR SOUL...(chorus)
BUT YOU CAN ONLY GIVE OF YOURSELF
WHEN YOU’RE SURE WHAT’S, INSIDE TO HELP
IF THERE’S JOY IT CAN, EASE THE PAIN
IF THERE’S LONGING FOR, THEN FIND THE WAY...
