Nighttime gets longer each morning I wake up
With sunlight that’s long overdue
I start making plans for having thoughts that might take up
Some of the time that I’ll spend missing you
Winters come a crawling after fall left me calling
For an end to what spring put me through
Summers only blessing had been the warm breeze caressing
All the time that I spent missing you
[ steel — fiddle ]
Minutes of mis’ry drag through hours of mem’ries
Past a voice that swears they’re not true
It keeps avoiding denying though but mostly just lying
About the time that I’ll spend missing you
Winters come a crawling…
[ mandolin — steel ]
Winters come a crawling…
