Passing The Time

It is a cold winter, away is the songbird
And gone is her traveler, she waits at home
The sun is on holiday, no leaves on the trees
The animals sleep while cold north wind blowsThe snowflakes are falling, the roof a white blanket
There's ice on the window pane, she waits alone
She sits by the fireside, the room is so warm
Her children are sleeping, she waits in their homePassing the time
Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, I will survive
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, I will survive
Passing the time, everything finePassing the time, I will survive
Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, wine and time rhyme
Passing the time
