One day nearer

It's getting lighter all the time

House Martin sings, I feel a tingle in my spine

Winter's frost begins to slowly fade Behind the clouds the sun is trying to embrace

Behind us is the dark that at one time it did consume

And I hold out as summer fights to break forth from the womb

Its light begins to warm the heart and to dispel the shivers

Be joyful, oh my soul, as summer's one day nearer, one day nearer

The rains may come, the floods may rise

The wind cuts through and all around there's charcoal skies

Whispers tell that summer's coming The dark is lifting, earth awakens from its slumber
