Tom Paxton - Winter Song lyrics

Listen to the wind blow All the way from Canada, the weather man explains That's why we got all this snow instead of a lot of rain Need to get your warm clothes on if you gonna go skating on the pond Didn't I tell you so Listen to the wind blow Listen to the trees sigh Standing in the freezin' wind and feeling the old year die Catching the winter's chilly kiss in the grey and the lowering sky Better check there's kindling in the box, put on two pair of good warm socks No need to ask me why Listen to the trees sigh It always catches me unawares Frost on the redwood picnic chairs Birds I'm used to seeing fly away The child within me starts to glow When the air begins to taste of snow And I dream my crazy dream of a one-horse sleigh Listen to the bells ring Up and down the snowy hill attached to wooden sleds Bells on woollen mittens, bells on goggled, woollen heads You wanna take a laughing spill, try your luck on a snowy hill Wanna hear winter sing Listen to the bells ring It always catches me unawares Frost on the redwood picnic chairs Birds I'm used to seeing fly away The child within me starts to glow When the air begins to taste of snow And I dream my crazy dream of a one-horse sleigh Listen to the bells ring Up and down the snowy hill attached to wooden sleds Bells on woollen mittens, bells on goggled, woollen heads You wanna take a laughing spill, try your luck on a snowy hill Wanna hear winter sing Listen to the bells ring Wanna hear winter sing Listen to the bells ring
