This winter wind that blows in me Used to be Promise of spring A summer breeze It might be The final curtain coming down I'm in the bonus rounds If your life is like mine Pretty soon you'll find That time makes a young man wise Still you might see Regret in this old man's eyes Come the ringing bell I'll meet the voice that's calling For those who know me well I won't soon be forgotten Peace won't come if your peace depends On the hope Of finding that which never ends Hold tightly The gift of all you have today It will be gone someday Everything in the end Will be made good again So trust in the author's pen Faith is a lucky coin That few ever learn to spend But you can be sure I spent it well For each thing I've forgotten You could fall in to what I have left to tell And never reach the bottom
