Passing The Time Lyrics

It is a cold winter, away is the songbird And gone is her traveler, she waits at home The sun is on holiday, no leaves on the trees The animals sleep while cold north wind blows
The snowflakes are falling, the roof a white blanket There's ice on the window pane, she waits alone She sits by the fireside, the room is so warm Her children are sleeping, she waits in their home
Passing the time Passing the time, everything fine Passing the time, I will survive Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, I will survive Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, I will survive Passing the time, everything fine Passing the time, wine and time rhyme Passing the time
It is a long winter, away is the summer She waits for her traveler so far from home She sits by the fireside, the room is so warm There's ice on the window, she's lonely alone
