Onion Honey

Lyrics

I wish I were an autumn leaf
Covering the ground
And I wish I were a cold Nor’easter
Blowing them around
But I’m under all these layers
Long-johned and sweater-bound
And it’s a long time ‘til spring

Oh it’s a long time ‘til spring
Yes it’s a long long time ‘til spring
It’s only now November,
we’re already complaining
It’s a long time ‘til spring

I wish I were a candle
Burning in the night
And I wish I were an evergreen
All trimmed with twinkle lights
But I’m under all these layers
Out of mind and out of sight
And it’s a long time ‘til spring

It’s a long time ‘til spring…...
It’s not a Christmas carol
but you can hear us sing
It’s a long time ‘til spring

Wish I were a snowflake
Floating in the the breeze
And I wish I were a blizzard
To blanket all the trees
But I’m under all these layers
So that I will not freeze
And it’s a long time ‘til spring

It’s a long time ‘til spring…...
January is a new year
but it don’t mean a thing
It’s a long time ‘til spring

Wish I were a snowplow
To clear away the drifts
And I wish I were a snowbird
Fly away from all of this
But I’m under all these layers
It really is the pits
It’s a long time ‘til spring

It’s a long time ‘til spring……...
February gives us all the blues,
it’s really depressing
It’s a long time ‘til spring

I wish a were a ski lift
Gliding up the slopes
And I wish I were a warm snap
To raise all of our hopes
But I’m under all these layers
By now we know the ropes
It’s a long time ‘til spring

It’s a long time ‘til spring……..
March comes in like a lion
And out like a hornet’s sting
It’s still a long time ‘til spring

It’s a long time ‘til spring…….
Well April should bring showers
But it’s probably still snowing
It’s still a long time ‘til spring
