Winter Sits There Waiting

Winter sits there waiting In the wings of autumn's show With leaves now crisp upon the bough And promises of snow Winter sits there waiting For the sun to pass her prime For summer's blooms to wilt and die Farewell to autumn time Winter sits there waiting There's a coldness in the air The days are getting shorter now The trees are looking bare Winter sits there waiting And the wind is blowing cold With lonesome nights and heavy heart I need someone to hold Winter sits there waiting How the times goes marching on The years betray a lifetime passed Beneath the brightling sun Winter sits there waiting And it seems it won't be long Before the chill of autumn's voice Sings out her final song Winter sits there waiting All too soon her time will come And the shadow of her coming Will fall on everyone ©️11/9/2024 Valerie Dohren
