It Was Winter
It was Winter when she left him
The North wind howled out on the plain
This was never what it should be
And Spring may never come again
She took a Greyhound bus back East
The West just never fit her style
He loved her still, he had no doubt,
But loneliness had killed her smile
She missed the noise of the city
A lullaby for her to sleep
In the country lies the silence
A bargain made she couldn't keep
It was Winter when she left him
And he had never loved since then
Forty years have come and gone now
And Springtime never came again
