Lyrics
BACK IN WINTER TOWN
I persevered through
Persistent rain
Believing that the sun must shine.
Through the thunder clouds,
I kept my head
Wishing that the sun would shine.
I was isolated
by deep frozen snow
Believing that the sun would shine.
And the sun did shine,
and it shone so bright
that it dazzled me.
Chorus
And the rain came down
Now I’m back in Winter Town
And the rain came down
Now I’m back in Winter Town
(Bridge)
I'm a child of the snow. I'm a child of the snow. I'm a child of the snow
I dug my way through fields of hurt
Believing I would find the key.
Through the gates of pain,
I kept my head
Believing I would find the key.
I was left alone,
In that nowhere zone
Believing that the key I'd find
And the key did shine
and it shone so bright
that it dazzled me.
Chorus
And the rain came down
Now I’m back in Winter Town
And the rain came down
Now I’m back in Winter Town.
(Bridge repeat)
