[Verse] I saw summer disappear Sunk below the clouds I heard the hollow howl of rain Saw snow along the ground [Pre-Chorus] And I knew [Chorus] It's winter It's winter It's winter It's winter [Verse 2] The bluebird flew away And the bear went to sleep The river froze And the leaves fell Off the skeleton trees [Pre-Chorus] And I knew [Chorus] It got cold overnight All the heat lost its fight And the world It lost its light Now there's frost in my bed All the trees lost their leaves And my throat lost its scream And my mind It lost its steam 'Cause all my memories fled Winter's taken my friends Winter's takin' my friends Winter's takin' my friends [Instrumental] [Verse] I can't stop it I can't hold it Winter comin' and I'm frozen Burnin' through my head [Instrumental] [bridge] All the birds flyin' south They're all dyin' No doubt All the flowers are ded [Chorus] It got cold overnight All the heat lost its fight And the world It lost its light Now there's frost in my bed All the trees lost their leaves And my throat lost its scream And my mind It lost its steam 'Cause all my memories fled Winter's taken my friends Winter's takin' my friends Winter's takin' my friends
