My world’s a winter wasted place,

With snow and dust and clouded skies.

Here you come, walking through town

In shorts as if it’s spring.

How I love when your presence makes me

Warm, but only just, and for just a while

Do you have what it takes to chase away

The snow with all your strength?

I’ve never liked the winter days.

Tell me, can you make them disappear?



You’re beautiful, and your eyes

Calm me to my senses. They bring

The rain that nourishes my ground,

And keeps my body cool.

But I don’t want the showers that pass

Before you’ve had the chance to blink

I need the storm and thunder that precedes

The summer’s humid haze

Tell me, will I see the autumn leaves?



Basically, you make me happier than anyone

I’ve ever known, but I don’t know

If in your bones is the strength

That loves and fills and satisfies.

In my winter wasted place I’ll wait

For you until the spring

Or until you’re willing to chase away

The snow and dust and clouded skies.
