Story Behind the Song
I get down often during the winter. This song expresses how I feel during these times.
Lyrics
The Black and White World of Winter
The green all turns to yellow, the red then turns to brown.
And everything begins its final end; as the leaves fall for the ground.
In the black and white world of winter, when darkness comes to call,
You can feel it all slowly slip away in the fading light world of fall.
Another summer’s gone. And the days don’t seem so long. . .as they used to.
The bitter wind is cold, and you feel you’re growing old.
I look through a frosted window, but the pane still seems so clear.
The streets are all deserted, cause the cold and dark are here.
In the black and white world of winter, when the trees all start to rust.
It’s the evening of the morning, the dawning of the dusk.
The days all seem so gray, all the color’s gone away.
And things all cease to live, there’s nothing more to give.
The black and white world of winter, that’s where I am again.
We crawl into our caves and we hibernate. Because outside’s cold and dead.
The cold it creeps upon me, past fall’s final gasp.
I look and see dying all around. I’m reminded how nothing lasts.
Another year is gone, and it somehow seems so wrong.
So I’ll keep growing old. And await the creeping cold.
