"Last Days Of Winter" lyrics

I spy with my little eye, the sun shining brightly, the clouds rolling by
The last days of winter now seem so far away
And everything looks green when it used to be gray
And I've watched the change like the changing in my mind
And I chased the leaves like the words I never find
Like the people I knew who I sometimes see today
Some still bright like fire and some faded away

I turn on the radio and someone's playing a song
I turn on the news, hear what's going on
I turn on my back when I'm full of beer
I turn off the news when I don't want to hear

And I've seen a girl looking so very sad
Nothing left but a memory of all the times she's had

And I've seen a man looking so sad inside
Nothing left but the memories from which he cannot hide

So I learned to fight with a weapon called the word
I learned to rise my voice so that I'd be heard
I learned to fight with a weapon called the word
I learned to raise my voice but I've never been heard
