lyrics

Short Days Seem So Long – February 5, 2021

It was a cold day in a small Midwestern town
Wind chill was five below
Still went outside to shovel the drive
Because it's just something we have to do

CHORUS:
The days of my youth, I'd stay out all day in the snow but...
The older I get, the more I understand, what it means to feel it in your bones
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Early morning only darkness to be found
Frost on the windows again
Creak and moan, chilled to the bone
Better put an extra layer on

Eventually, the sun will come around
With her warm rays upon my face
How I long for the springtime thaw
Surround myself with new life

I am dreaming of the thaw
These short days seem so long
Just another cold day in a small Midwestern town
