Mid-Winter Dreamin'
We'll get through this.
A song to keep you warm this weekend, and to pay homage to the men and women who can't stay inside where it’s warm when the stock need tending.
Mid-winter dreamin’
While the snow falls deep and soft
Wrapped in my fleecy robe
By the window, watchin’ flakes drift off
Sippin’ cocoa, steamin’ slow
Seed catalogs spread around
Full of promises, colors bright
Flowers bloomin’, fruit trees crowned
I’m wishin’ for summer’s sweet harvest sound
When it’s dark and snowy, days sleet by so fast
Ice storm howlin’ outside the glass
That’s when I’m mid-winter dreamin’
Of gardens green and blooms at last
Mid-winter dreamin’
Spring’s still far away
But in my heart it’s already May
Till the moment comes, gotta rise
Dislodge that sleepin’ dog from my side
Leave the coffee laced with Irish cream behind
Step into the wind that bites and cries
Muck boots on, head into the night
‘Cause the lambs are comin’, bawlin’ in the cold
Goat kids droppin’ all around the fold
Calves ain’t far, and look—there’s a foal
Born on the coldest night winter could hold
When it’s dark and snowy, days sleet by so fast
Ice storm howlin’ outside the glass
That’s when I’m mid-winter dreamin’
Of gardens green and blooms at last
Mid-winter dreamin’
Holdin’ on through the freeze
Somethin’ smells great, bakin’ in the oven warm
Wood stove glowin’, chasin’ off the storm
Spring is in no hurry, takin’ her sweet time
Snow days and slushy roads, brr, it’s so cold outside
But it’s the middle of winter, and I’m still alive
Mid-winter dreamin’
Snow days, slushy roads
Brr, so cold
It’s the middle of winter!
Mid-winter dreamin’
Dreamin’… dreamin’…
Of green and gold to come
