real winter Songtext
von Abby Powledge

I can see my breath here, my hands are awfully cold
And there is water in my eyes, there′s pink upon my nose
I know that I'm still young but I can tell that I′ve outgrown
Even the trees I used to climb in the place that I call home
But winter comes as winter does
And she's so cold but I know she must
I've never had another I could hold while shivering
Like how I′ve never felt real winter, just the awful Texas heat
So I′ll bundle up regardless of what Boerne taught to me
And I'll tell myself it′s easier to leave
On a brisk little walk upon these foreign little streets
Where I am bound to reminisce upon the differences I see
And maybe it's a sign that I had moved out with such ease
And maybe I am just an optimist and change along the least but
Winter comes as winter does And she so cold but I know she must
I′ve never had another I could hold while shivering


Like how I've never felt real winter
Just the awful Texas heat
So I′ll bundle up regardless of what Boerne taught to me
And I'll tell myself it's easier to leave
Oh, I think it′s time that I see real snow
Make angels with it, catch it on my tongue
Hold it in my hands and watch them grow
And I′m by a scarf and coat
Sing a song I'm sung
I′ve never had another that could fit just like a glove
Like how I've only felt real winter
As much as I′ve been loved
So I'll bundle up regardless of what Boerne taught to me
And remind myself of love eventually
I′ll remind myself I'm where I ought to be
I will tell myself it's easier to leave
