lyrics

The first snow fell down on the woods again
And I built a fire of oak and madrone
And I let it burn, burn in an orange glow
And I filled that glow with song

Oh it's been a hard, hard long winter
And it isn't halfway done
And I find it hard sometimes to remember
How to love myself again

Yeah it's been a hard, hard long winter
And it isn't over yet
But the first snow fell in a blaze of song
And if I treat myself well
It will make me strong

It will make
It will make me strong
