Stone Cold
Through open doors and windowsA cold wind took its prey
Rustling through silent trees
Turning the bright blue sky to grey
The frost came without warning
No blade of grass was spared
Bare trees bowed their pitied heads
For they were not prepared
Winter took no mercy
The air was filled with bitterness
Cold committed an evil crime
No human soul could witness
Through weeks of cold unkindness
There at the crack of dawn
The sun shone down its familiar face
And winter spell is torn
Nature begins to rejoice
Spring will now unfold
But like a nasty after taste
The earth is left stone cold
