Janis Ian Sunflakes Fall, Snowrays Call
It is the winter time of year
A time for all my troubled thought dreams to come clear
And all the seasons I held dear
Seem to have gone and left me 'lone with winter only here
Lonely, forever dreaming
My life is teeming with yearning, I'd like to be learning
And it's summer out on the streets
Sunflakes fall, snowrays call
Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww"
A policeman walks a most solitary beat
I feel at odds with the summer time
Ice is in my heart and winter's in my mind
I watch the snow upon my blinds
As people walk in shorts and sandals everywhere outside
Lonely, forever hiding
Caught in the icy hide of winter, outside it's warm and sunlight glimmers
And it's summer out on the streets
Sunflakes fall, the snowrays call
Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww"
A policeman walks a most solitary beat
Oh when days are marked by winter's time
Spring and summer counts come racing to my mind
Within my heart the seasons never coincide
At times I hate and curse the world for making winter mine.
Lonely, forever dreaming
My life is teeming with yearning, I'd like to be learning
And it's summer out on the streets
Sunflakes fall, the snowrays call
Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww"
A policeman walks a most solitary beat
