winter bites

in other places no one feels the cold
while here we find out just how winter bites
bright chilly days followed by frosty nights

weather informs you that you're getting old
you think too much of funerary rites
in other places no one feels the cold

this is a story that has been much told
how not a single needed flame ignites
and none are guided by the evening lights
in other places no one feels the cold
