[Verse] Night fades away And I open my eyes To the beautiful world outside The sun shines bright And the weather is fine But my mind stays behind with the night There's a garden outside Near the woods, free and wild Full of sweet, heady flowers Under a golden light But I'd rather wait for the night Where everything waits... Everything waits [Chorus] I guess I'll close the blinds And hide from the light As I wait for a cold winter night A gray clouded sky To keep in the winds A chill up my spine As my misery thins [Verse 2] Winter’s grip It takes my hand Leading me to the warm firelight A world waits in the still And a cold forgiveness clings A sting of peace in a frozen night The gray clouded sky Swallows the sun Keeping all warmth on the run The walls seem to hum With a lonely refrain Willing the night To begin again [Chorus] So I'll close the blinds And hide from the light As I wait for a still winter night I won't deserve The comfort it brings The touch of calm in the darker things [Outro] Mmmmm, this time, maybe, I'll find my wings
