Lyrics

Winterlong

[Verse 1]

I waited for you winterlong

You seem to be where I belong

It's all illusion anyway

If things should ever turn out wrong

And all the love we have is gone

It won't be easy on that day

[Bridge]

Waiting to follow

Through the dreamlight of your way

Is not so easy for me now

Half the time has passed away (Sha-la-la-la)

Things we thought of yesterday (Sha-la-la-la)

Come back now, come back now, whoa-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Waiting to follow

Through the dreamlight of your way

Is not so easy for me now

Half the time has passed away (Sha-la-la-la)

Things we thought of yesterday (Sha-la-la-la)

Come back now, come back now, whoa-oh

[Outro]

I waited for you winterlong

You seem to be where I belong

I waited for you winterlong

You seem to be where I belong

I waited for you winterlong

You seem to be where I belong
