Cold Mid-Winter Sun
Cold Mid-Winter Sun,
all the things you’ve done,
and all the things you’ve seen –
can you tell me why
you are not coloured green?
You’d break the golden rule,
and consider me a fool,
if you could only tell me why
you are not coloured green.
You are like a molten tangerine,
that’s a simile
from silly me,
but, I’d rather you were the colour,
of a peppermint cream.
Please tell me why
you are not coloured green.
Cold Mid-Winter Sun,
all the things you’ve done,
all the things you’ve seen,
do you know
that you are not coloured green??
