For twenty winters I have longed for Summer,
When life was bright and my days were longer.
Yet this cold has gripped me, broken my soul.
Left me alone with a heart of stone.
Shocking my mind I am hoping to find a way,
Feel that change in wind sweep me off my feet.
To crack a smile from my saving grace.
Eyes are heavy and bones are weak,
Feels like I haven't slept in weeks.
I am weak, I am weak,
I can't go on give me eternal sleep.
What I would give to never awake from this slumber,
Dreaming dreams, dreams of Summer.
The greatest sin to take my life,
Take my soul to the great white light.
I am weak, I am weak,
I can't go on give me eternal sleep.
What I would give to never awake from this slumber,
Dreaming dreams, dreams of Summer.
I don't remember how I used to feel,
Is this a dream, or is it real?
Before the cold snap, broken my soul,
Left me alone with a heart of stone.
I want to go somewhere where the sun's still shining,
When life was bright, my life still vibrant.
Somewhere where I'm not frightened.
