Mild Winter by Eliza

It’s been a mild winter
Warm wind is blowing in
I start to feel the summer’s touch too close upon my skin
It’s been a mild winter
And spring is coming on
Yellow blossoms, early houseguests
Greys and blues
Gonna miss you when you’re gone

I’m thinking about a winter
My first year away from home
Hearing stories about snowdrifts,
Standing frozen and alone
Thinking about a winter
My spring fever never saw
Holding close against the weather
Home fires
Gonna miss you when you’re gone

And my heart it longs for winter
Like the ones when I was young
As if the sea that drowns my sorrows
Could be snowflakes on my tongue
My heart it longs for winter
Cold and deep and long
They say you can’t go home again
Cold hearts
Gonna miss you when you’re gone

It’s been a mild winter
And it’s coming up on spring
And my home is under snowdrifts
Only now there’s no such thing
It’s been a mild winter
And on the air a song
Birds and bees and summer voices
Singing
Gonna miss you when you’re gone
