The music changes seasons
And I'm surrounded by reasons
To laugh and dance with shoppers down the lane.
But the festive Lights feel distant
And my listlessness, so insistent
I fight to catch my breath before I start to rain
Through tearing eyes, I can fake a smile
Knowing it might be a while
Till I feel like my old self again
So between the fruit punch and merriment
If you wonder where my spirit went
It's still here, just subdued, my friend
So sit and share some tea with me
To chase away the cold without, within
And thank you for spending this time with me
Even if I'm too poor to spare a grin
