Winter Stranger
by
Corny Held
Winter is rolling around
Snow lies on the ground
it's cold and it's quiet
in the fields
Ghosts of cessation are there
trying to haunt and to scare
Just brave them, start something,
don't yield
Traveling stranger, you can stay
for a night, or for a day,
for a memory, or till May,
it's a station on your way
Stranger of frost, come inside
Let's share a little warmth tonight
and maybe a dream
or light a fire
Winter's pregnant with a spring
While waiting we can sing
Songs of old or of
hearts' desire
Winter stranger, you can stay
for a night, or for a day,
for a memory, or till May,
it's a station on your way
Maybe you'll stay till it's green
I will not ask where you've been
if it feels good and cosy
it's all right
But some day you will have to go
in some other swirls of snow
and travel on and wander
through that white
Winter lover, you can stay
for a night, or for a day,
for a memory, or till May,
it's a station on your way
