The Last Days of Winter

Levellers


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 grey 
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 
And I turn off the news 
When I don't want to hear 

And I've seen a girl who looks so very sad 
Nothing left but a memory of all the times she's had 
And I've seen a man who looks so sad inside 
Nothing left but the memories from which he cannot hide 

So I learned to fight 
With a Weapon Called The Word 
And I learned to rise my voice 
So that I'd be heard 
And I learned to fight 
With a weapon called the word 
And I learned to raise my voice 
But I've never been heard
