Winter Lyrics by Tori Amos

Winter Lyrics

    Snow can wait
    I forgot my mittens
    Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
    I get a little warm in my heart
    When I think of winter
    I put my hand in my father's glove
    I run off
    Where the drifts get deeper
    Sleeping Beauty trips me with a frown
    I hear a voice:
    "You must learn to stand up
    For yourself
    'Cause I can't always be around"

    He says when you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    'Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses are still in bed
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change, my dear

    Boys get discovered
    As winter melts
    Flowers competing for the sun
    Years go by
    And I'm here still waiting
    Withering where some snowman was
    Mirror, mirror
    Where's the Crystal Palace
    But I only can see myself
    Skating around the truth who I am
    But I know, Dad, the ice is getting thin

    When you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    'Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses are still in bed
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change, my dear

    Hair is grey
    And the fires are burning
    So many dreams on the shelf
    You say I wanted you to be proud of me
    I always wanted that myself

    When you gonna make up your mind
    When you gonna love you as much as I do
    When you gonna make up your mind
    'Cause things are gonna change so fast
    All the white horses have gone ahead
    I tell you that I'll always want you near
    You say that things change, my dear
    Never change
    All the white horses
