I don't blossom in Wintertime
I need the bright light of long days
my body goes bending around
the silence of my soul
my mind starts wandering between
the glow of candles warming up
my quiet dark evenings
drifting away to endless horizons
and sunbathed plains
where space is sharply divided
into colors and shadows
where the days dwell lazily
into the dream filled nights
only my longing for you seems
to grow, grow even more strong
no, I definitely don't blossom
in Wintertime
