Winter Spring

C                                      F      G
  This is the way that winter says goodbye to spring

Bb                 G                  C
  By whispering we will not meet this year

F             G                  C    C7  F    G7       C
  This year I will not see you flower       or hear you sing



D                                      G       A
  The time is over now, you could look back to me

C                     A                 D     D7
  And see the way the crocus cupped the snow

G             A               D    D7  G    A7      D
  Part of the picture in your show       of pageantry



Bb                           F       Gm                B
    The grass would not have been as green without the frost

Eb                         Bb               F
    The night prepares the splendour of the day

Gm                                             Am       Dm
    My hands were cold and now they're cold as cold can be

Gm                    Eb               A    A7
    I fold them to my chest and turn away



D                                      F      A
  This is the way that winter says goodbye to spring

Bb                 G                  C
  By whispering we will not meet this year

G             A                  D    D7  G    A        D    D7
  This year I will not see you flower       or hear you sing

 G             A                   D     D7  G    A7     D
  Or taste the brilliance that you bring       to everything



G                             A  A7                 D
  This meeting never happened.     I was never here
