We begin our slow retreat with the falling snow

But right now inside is not the place to go

As the days grow shorter I fight them tooth and nail

Our pledge is the wind love and I set my sail


Hey we don’t know

Where we will go

Stay with me

We’ll beat this can’t you see

Wait awhile wintertime


And now the cold is moving in

The siren’s song is calling from within

And it’s one step closer to pulling me away

And I’m looking for the reasons make me want to stay

Hey we don’t know

Where we will go

Stay with me

We’ll beat this can’t you see

Wait awhile wintertime


And now the bright lights are beckoning

Will I carry on

Will I sing my song

Without you near

You promised to help me remember

So baby where’d you go

And how did you know

To take my hand

As I softly land

Wait awhile wintertime


Now the planet’s done her bowing down

Soon the growth returns to fallow ground

But I know what’s churning underneath the snow

And I love my baby and we’ve miles to go

Hey we don’t know

Where we will go

Stay with me

We’ll beat this can’t you see

Wait awhile wintertime
