Passing The Time

It is a cold winter, away is the songbird

And gone is her traveler, she waits at home

The sun is on holiday, no leaves on the trees

The animals sleep while cold north wind blows

The snowflakes are falling, the roof a white blanket

There's ice on the window pane, she waits alone

She sits by the fireside, the room is so warm

Her children are sleeping, she waits in their home

Passing the time

Passing the time, everything fine

Passing the time,

I will survive

Passing the time, drinking red wine

Passing the time,

I will survive

Passing the time, everything fine

Passing the time,

I will survive

Passing the time, everything fine

Passing the time, wine and time rhyme

Passing the time

It is a long winter, away is the summer

She waits for her traveler so far from home

She sits by the fireside, the room is so warm

There's ice on the window, she's lonely alone
