Mike Laureanno - Pushing Back Wintertime

PUSHING BACK WINTERTIME
The snow is climbing high
His memory drifts in the night
Through the heart of a storm
To his heart that was torn
Pushing back wintertime
She was
the spring, he was the fall
They couldn‟t bring down that wall
In a blizzard she took flight
He watched her fade to white
Pushing back wintertime
She planted a tree in his yard
She said it would grow to the stars
Now with ice covered limbs
It fights in th
e wind
Pushing back wintertime
Burning her oak in the fire
Saying goodbye, old desire
The melting has begun
A snowdrop greets the sun
Pushing back wintertime
Pushing back wintertime
