Winter Coat

it's getting cold outside and the leaves are falling down
the days are shorter now as the shadows have grown long
around this time of year the landscape starts to change
soon the snow will come and the drifts will fill the days

then you'll have to find your winter coat
hat and gloves and scarf and boots
stay inside until the winter's gone
spring will come and be reborn
ah ah
ah ah

it's that time of year when the green goes in the ground
blazing out in glory killing time until the sound
of melting ice and snow and the wind and rain and sun
that time is months away under mother nature’s thumb

now you'll have to find your winter coat
hat and gloves your scarf go up
stay inside all winterlong
or find a river to skate away on
ah ah
ah ah
