Winter


Tori Amos



Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
get my new boots on
I get a little warm
in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my
father's glove

I run off where the drifts
get deeper
Sleeping Beauty trips me
with a frown I hear a voice
"You must learn to stand up
for yourself Cause I can't always be around"

he says
when you gonna
make up your mind
When you gonna love you
as much as I do
When you gonna
make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change
so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always
want you near you say that things
change my dear

boys get discovered
as winter melts
flowers competing for the sun
years go by and I'm here
still waiting withering where some
snowman was
mirror mirror
where's the crystal palace
but I only can see myself
Skating around the truth
who I am but I know dad
the ice is getting thin
hair is grey and the fires
are burning so many dreams
on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be
proud of me
I always wanted that myself

things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you
near you say that things change
my dear
