I painted the walls bright colors
Pink and green and blue.
I brought out my mother's curtains
The one's I had hidden from you.
Nothing goes with anything
Nothing goes with me.
Sometimes the sun shines in the winter
Just wait and see.
I put on my nicest clothing
I brushed my hair.
I shined my shoes, put on a hat
Opened the door, reached my heart towards the air.
Headed nowhere with any reason
No one went with me
Sometimes the sun shines in the winter
Just wait and see.
Rising up through the path of the day
Rising up through the winter and my time away.
Quiet can be a comfort
Quiet can be a curse.
Quiet can be with someone
Or someone can be quiet first.
I look into the clouds
No one looks with me
Sometimes the sun shines in the winter
Just wait and see.
Commentary
I posted these song lyrics from last year in honor of the beautiful weather we've had over the last few days.
"The Sun Shines In The Winter" was originally written into an email I wrote to my friend Shirley. I had already sent her a few song lyrics and she liked them quite a bit, so I thought I would change things up and for the first time in my songwriting "career" try to write lyrics hearing someone else's voice. Her voice. Shirley has a beautiful voice. So I had the double challenge of writing for a woman's voice too.
