lyrics

I gaze outside my window, look up at the sky
it's gloomy, clouds surrounding, rain, no sunshine in sight
all the trees have let go of their very own leaves
the relentless wind has blown and left no colour to be seen
and winter has now come to me

Fall was so beautiful for as long as it was here
one hundred shades of autumn dancing down from the tallest trees
the sun came out to say don't worry, I haven't gone away
I am still here I just come out every other day
And winter has now come to me

Now it's coats and tuques and scarfs and mittens for my little hands
all the things from keeping all my extremities freezing
umbrellas and raincoats and all I wish is I had a boat
to sail away out of here and wind up in Hawaii.

Due to lack of funds my dreams will slowly come undone
I will have to make the most of having wintery fun
like splashing in the puddles with my gumboots on
curling up in my warm bed when the long day is done
cos winter has now come to me

I will visit all my friends and drink a lot of tea
play boardgames by an open fire, make the most delicious dinner
let the snowflakes fall upon my cheeks as it gets much colder
and maybe even cuddle into a certain others shoulder
cos winter has now come to me

Now it's coats and tuques and scarfs and mittens for my little hands
all the things from keeping all my extremities freezing
umbrellas and raincoats and all I wish is I had a boat
to sail away out of here and wind up in Hawaii.

Please, won't you take me to Hawaii.
