Winter
Winter is a song that I wrote because of the growing realisation that certain people who have always been a hugely important part of my life are getting older, their health was deteriorating and that they won't be around for ever.
It was important to me that it didn't become a sad and depressing song - there is enough going on in the world that makes me sad - I wanted this to be more of a bittersweet celebration of the circle of life and hope that comes across in the song.

Lyrics
You were still young in your Summer While my life was at it's start Way back then I was Springtime Winter hadn't touched my heart And as the days slowly lengthened You watched my shadow grow tall When I danced in the warm Summer sun I didn't notice your leaves start to fall We danced our way through Summer Winter's chill seemed so far away Time slipping through our fingers When we should cherish each single day Now I know that Winter is coming It's like a shard of ice deep in my heart But I'll always remember the warmth of your love And we'll never truly be apart There can be happiness in endings There can be love that can make you cry There can be pain and there can be loneliness But they will fade as time goes by We danced our way through Summer Winter's chill seemed so far away Time slipping through our fingers When we should cherish each single day The sun is low in your sky now But there's still beauty in the Winter Sun I've a lifetime of memories I'll keep in my heart Until my own cycle of seasons are done So now I'm left with a question Is Winter truly the end? Surely the Spring melts the frost and the snow And I'll see your smile again? We danced our way through Summer Winter seemed so far away Now we'll treasure each and every moment And cherish each single day Lyrics: Kie Spate
