Lyric

In the wind that blows so cold and so cruel

Everything is swept away like a fool

In a landscape shivering, pale and white

Our love just faded out of sight

No tomorrow for the dreams we shared

Only emptiness and being scared

And the heavy sky, so dark and gray

Seeps into my soul and stays

That’s why I hate the winter, I hate it so

I’ll scream it out so you will finally know

Waiting for the sound of melting snow

Listening close, I won't let go

Like a prayer in the bitter cold

To believe was the only way, I knew

The only path to get me back to you

But I wandered off and lost my stride

Until our love just flickered out and died

If you’d given me just one warm word

A tiny spark that could have been heard

It would have been a light to guide my way

Through the shadows of the darkest day

I wanted you to say something, anything at all

I’ll scream it out, I’ll let the teardrops fall

Waiting for the morning when the water flows

Like a prayer, as the river goes

Washing all the pain away

That’s why I hate the winter, I hate it so

I’ll scream it out so you will finally know

Waiting for the time when the green will grow

Looking at the earth where the flowers show

Like a prayer, watching life unfold

Waiting for the spring to take a hold

Waiting for the spring

I still hate the winter

Until it melts away
