Winters Grasp

Winters Grasp

 
 
Winters grasp is finally failing  
Though not without one final fight  
She tricked the trees to blooming  
Only to deny them - in the night  
Frozen clothes yes rows and rows  
Still hanging on the line  
Most are yours and some are his  
But a few of them are mine  
 
Fish move back to deeper waters  
Searching for relief  
Though none be found  
The fish all drowned  
In the pursuit of food to eat  
 
The old man with out a jacket  
Finally froze to death last night  
I tried to give him warmth and comfort  
But he only picked a drunken fight  
 
We walk in her long shadows  
We burst threw every door  
Shaking off the cold and wet  
Jackets to the floor  
 
Winters grasp is finally failing  
Though not without one final fight  
She tricked the trees to blooming  
Only to deny them - in the night
