I hear the faraway bells are ringing seven-times now And the winter is here and I feel the coldness And the warmth I crave is inside And I walk on by your windowpane And I hope you hear what I say These sounds might come from heaven seven-times now It's not the winter you fear it's the old road Let's change it and make it real now And we're strong and weak and strong again And I hope you hear what I say And we're strong and weak and strong again It's from my heart what I say In this winter song In this winter song In this winter song And the spring is near as never, as never time yet And we wake and sleep and wake again And I hope you hear what I say And we wake and sleep and wake again It's from my heart what I say In this winter song In this winter song In this winter song
