about

First song I wrote on my first Mandola I built. I wrote it just as The Barrow Gang Buskers were starting up.

lyrics

Summers done, and winters dawned
And all your friends have come and gone
Retreat to your closet room
Listen to records by the light of the moon
Wait out three months wait out four
A couple of weeks, maybe a couple more
but then the sun begins to shine
On all your friends and all of mine

Remember standing in the warm summer days
Remember singing the song we used to love to play
Under the bright stars on a cool summer night
When something was everything
And everything was all right

The leaves are turning brown again
Look at the colours as it sinks in
The ice and the snow, the wind and the slush
When everything gets all messed up
The shortened days, the dark long nights
When everything is not quite right
