lyrics

Winter is coming on
It’s a cold I swear I could die
So I’m sorry but I must be getting gone
Yes my darling to the south I must fly

It’s the not knowing of everything that’s so beautiful
And I won’t leave until my belly’s full
I just want to stay here right now cause you’re so beautiful
And I won’t leave until my heart is full

The leaves have left their branches
The squirrels have left their woodland homes
So I must make my handshakes
Yes my darling to the south I must roam

It’s the not knowing of everything that’s so beautiful
And I won’t leave until my belly’s full
I just want to stay here right now cause you’re so beautiful
And I won’t leave until my heart is full
