The noble pine stands alone No one to see how tall it's grown In its frozen home So it stands in the snow And the north winds blow It's a cold little life here in Winters And there's a boy all alone No one to care how tall he's grown In his frozen home So he stands on his own like the pine And as the snow falls down It never makes a sound Sure, it seems to fly around But it's headed for the ground This winter's gonna be long, yeah This winter's gonna be long And in his dreams, he can fly
A daring genius hero guy With a dad nearby But he wakes, And there's snow And the north winds blow It's a cold little life here in Winters So will he live like the pine? Perfectly still, just k**ing time, In a slow decline Or will he come to be something more? Maybe adventure lies Beyond the snowy skies With a purpose and a friend Waiting just around the bend Till then he's gotta be strong, yeah ‘Cause winter's gonna be long This winter's gonna be long
