When Winter Comes Lyrics

She showed up in the springtime
Alice LeMaistre was her name
Swept in like a warm front clearing rain

She spoke of summers in Paris
Coffee at the Grand Palais
Reminiscing on left bank walks
She thrilled me captured in a melody

Singing her song
Blessed was the ground
That she walked on
Salvation comes
Basking in the glow
Of her rising sun
I'd sing her song

Her friends tell me I'm crazy
To think she'd ever settle down
To love her is to suffer no way out

Meet her on the corner
Of Parker Street and Drury Lane
Turns to me and she whispers
'Hold me tight say it
Will always be this way'

Is this a song?
We will both be singing
When winter comes?
Can we hold on?
Against the rising tide
And the setting sun
Can we hold on?

This song is sung
Verses strained
And the chorus never comes
This race is run
I have flown far
Too close to her sun
I have flown far
Too close to her sun
I'm undone

Where did I go wrong?
Every turn I took one way
Trusted her too long
When all the dashboard
Lights had changed

How'd it come to this?
All my seasons rearranged
Every chance I missed
The familiar feels so strange

Where did I go wrong?
How'd it come to this?
Where did I go wrong?

She showed up in the springtime
Alice LeMaistre was her name
Swept in like a warm front clearing rain
