It's called "Winter," by Family, and it's on their first album, Music In a Doll's House. The weather in New Jersey has me thinking of it. The lyrics, written by Charlie Whitney and Roger Chapman, go as follows:
Winter time it brings me down
Ice cold wind, snow on the ground
Soon I'll feel the summer breezes
Watch it as it carefully seizes
Thistle down, send it round
Slowly upward, slowly down
Gently moving, never a sound.
Wish that I could hibernate
Go to sleep and never wake
Until the sun comes shining once again.
Winter time it brings me down
Overcoats and scarves thrown round
Cold, dark nights and wintry gales
Frozen feet in snowy trails
Slowly homeward, trudging through
Wind and rain and hailstorms too
Where's the sun, I wish I knew!
Winter time, it brings me down
Ice cold wind, snow on the ground
Winter time, it brings me down
Overcoats and scarves thrown round.
Winter time it brings me down
Ice cold wind, snow on the ground
Soon I'll feel the summer breezes
Watch it as it carefully seizes
Thistle down, send it round
Slowly upward, slowly down
Gently moving, never a sound.
Wish that I could hibernate
Go to sleep and never wake
Until the sun comes shining once again.
Winter time it brings me down
Overcoats and scarves thrown round
Cold, dark nights and wintry gales
Frozen feet in snowy trails
Slowly homeward, trudging through
Wind and rain and hailstorms too
Where's the sun, I wish I knew!
Winter time, it brings me down
Ice cold wind, snow on the ground
Winter time, it brings me down
Overcoats and scarves thrown round.
