When winter comes howling a wolf to your door
And the summer's a stranger you once dreamed you saw
When the cold kills your spirit and the rain soaks your soul

And your day's hard as side-walk and the night takes its toll
You must cry for the sun, you must cry for the sun, until winter's done.


When the wind brings you sorrows like torrents of snow
And each new tomorrow brings heartbreak like a blow
When the chill haunts your evenings and fills you with dread

And your sleep's mean as demons that live in your head
You must cry for the sun, you must cry for the sun, until winter's done.


Chorus
Jake Frost may chill you, the black night may kill you
But winter will wither as love will prevail

Snow fall may blight you, the cruel wind may spite you
But winter will wither as love will prevail.


When October's a mourner and November's a shroud
And your dreams are an orphan who's dying but proud
When December's a battle no man ever won

And life is a shadow from which no man can run
You must cry for the sun, you must cry for the sun, until winter's done.


(Instrumental)

Chorus


When the rivers turn frozen without hope of a thaw
And the north wind's as savage as a wild witch's claw

When the frost freezes fields that no corn will ever know
And the sun's too forsaken for flowers to grow
You must cry for the sun, you must cry for the sun, until winter's done.


Remember the springtime will blossom like wine
Remember your troubles must fade with time

Remember the woman who lies by your side
Whose love is the flame that keeps you alive
You must cry for the sun, you must cry for the sun, until winter's done

You must cry for the sun, you must cry for the sun, until winter's done, until winter's done.
