Janis Ian - Sunflakes Fall, Snowrays Call lyrics

It is the winter time of year A time for all my troubled thought dreams to come clear And all the seasons I held dear Seem to have gone and left me 'lone with winter only here Lonely, forever dreaming My life is teeming with yearning, I'd like to be learning And it's summer out on the streets Sunflakes fall, snowrays call Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww" A policeman walks a most solitary beat I feel at odds with the summer time Ice is in my heart and winter's in my mind I watch the snow upon my blinds As people walk in shorts and sandals everywhere outside Lonely, forever hiding Caught in the icy hide of winter, outside it's warm and sunlight glimmers And it's summer out on the streets Sunflakes fall, the snowrays call Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww" A policeman walks a most solitary beat Oh when days are marked by winter's time Spring and summer counts come racing to my mind Within my heart the seasons never coincide At times I hate and curse the world for making winter mine. Lonely, forever dreaming My life is teeming with yearning, I'd like to be learning And it's summer out on the streets Sunflakes fall, the snowrays call Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww" A policeman walks a most solitary beat
