Springtime

Look beneath the frozen ice
You’ll see the colors you find nice
It must be close to springtime again
Although it seems the winter was so long
We found the way to carry on
Just two more months of biding time, my friend

I strive just as fast as the deer runs from the hunter
But you don’t know who I am
Believe me, trust me, break through that evil screen
You’ll find that gentle stream

Where we’ll pass by when warm air comes
We’ll lay beneath the frozen sun
It must be close to springtime again
And afterall we survived the fall
When flowers die and trees get small
Just two more months of biding time, my friend

So come, my friend, into my wonderland
And find out who I am
Believe me, trust me, you’ll never be denied
On our forest lakeside ride, our ride
