I Do Not Care for the Winter Sun

Snowflakes that fall
Across my eyes
Cannot compare to a dark
Surprise
What’s new becomes old
What’s old is new
When I first laid
My eyes on you
I do not care for the winter sun
Windows and fires
Or the bridge you’re on
It doesn’t matter
This time of year
Though darkness comes
So quick in time
Shortens our days
To longer nights
Build a blue fire
And kneel beside
Snowflakes that fall
Across our eyes
It’s all that matters
This time of year
It’s all that matters
This time of year
