Push it back, back into the ground I've been waiting for so long Seeds I've sown, and songs I've sung I've been waiting for so long Peace, oh peace, my soul Last spring I planted seeds of hope Peace, oh peace, my soul I'm waiting for them to grow Months have passed, and so have friends Well, I'm not ready for the end Hell, she said, hell it's been I'm not ready for the end Peace, oh peace, my soul Last spring I planted seeds of hope Peace, oh peace, my soul I'm waiting for them to grow Hurt and lies and last goodbyes And I will not close my eyes to the truth I will not lie it's been a long winter without you Birds in V's and life on trees and To all those coming to me in my sleep It's been a long winter It's been a long winter It's been a long winter without you
