Bittersweet memories
And how they tumble
In when you least expect
Them to and oh Mother
Said if only they never came
At this time of year and why
Always when I need a clear
Head and a steady heart and
Why is it always when the lights
Are low with the leaves falling
Slow? And every time just when
I think it’s over and I can rest
My head on life’s soft pillow the
Slow drifting of brilliant white but
Chilling settling on all things snow.
And how they tumble

Are low with the leaves falling
Slow? And every time just when
I think it’s over and I can rest
My head on life’s soft pillow the
Slow drifting of brilliant white but
Chilling settling on all things snow.
