I'll Be Gone By Winter

I'll be gone by winter.
I'll have said goodbye,
To wind and rain, it's all the same,
In my mind.
I'll be gone by winter,
Far across the sea.
Away from snow, and all I know,
Left behind.

How slow the days go,
When you don't come around anymore.
I'll wait for sunlight in the grey.

By of the end of winter,
Day and night subside.
The spring will come and bring the sun,
For a while.
Summer passed unnoticed.
Autumn's come and gone.
And rain will start and break my heart,
Like before.

How slow the nights go,
When you don't come around anymore.
I'll wait for daybreak in the grey.
