I need to find myself an ol’ school love song
To bring the warmth of spring and the winter blues gone
See the naked trees bloom, and the frosty brown soil thaw
Have the light of day heal the barren bruised waste land
Night winds blow the dark cloudy skies clear
Everybody needs a new start to this year
Get your mind ready free your spirit
Everybody needs a new start to this year
If I can just hold on till the cold rolls over
Dive back to my dreams, wake up and then go slower
Plant my garden and refresh it with water
Watch the mountains melt and the desert cracks swelter
I’m gonna wrap myself in woollen blankets
Sit by the fire, make love and then shake it
Count the days ‘till the sunrays break through
Live my life hard and be sure to say Thank You
I move through universal squalor
Toward fields of harmonies colour
Through the past and its dishonour
Cry mournful tears for the lives it’s shattered
Ooh
