The Lonesome Season by Andrew Crawford Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've endured so many battles, but I will not lose the war
Though my body's tired and fragile, I know my will can take much more
There's a chill only night can bring deep down inside your bones
In cold, lonely places, it can force a mind to roam
[Chorus]
It's been a lonesome season, but the sun will surely shine
I am weary from the north winds and the mountains that I've climbed
The snow is bound to melt soon and the creeks are bound to rise
I will wade them on my way to you, I'll meet you on the other side
[Verse 2]
I've seen the worst that man can do, I've bored thе cruelty of his kind
But the memory of you keeps mе warm and it brings hope and peace, I'll find
I dream of blue ridge mornings, I miss the smoky mountain air
I long to see you where the laurel blooms, I pray you're safely waiting there
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
So many miles, I've traveled and I've wandered far from home
And I've held on to your letters, your words have kept me strong
Across the frozen praries, I have yet to lose my way
There is but one more passage, we are closer every day
[Chorus]
It's been a lonesome season, but the sun will surely shine
I am weary from the north winds and the mountains that I've climbed
The snow is bound to melt soon and the creeks are bound to rise
I will wade them on my way to you, I'll meet you on the other side
I've endured so many battles, but I will not lose the war
Though my body's tired and fragile, I know my will can take much more
There's a chill only night can bring deep down inside your bones
In cold, lonely places, it can force a mind to roam
[Chorus]
It's been a lonesome season, but the sun will surely shine
I am weary from the north winds and the mountains that I've climbed
The snow is bound to melt soon and the creeks are bound to rise
I will wade them on my way to you, I'll meet you on the other side
[Verse 2]
I've seen the worst that man can do, I've bored thе cruelty of his kind
But the memory of you keeps mе warm and it brings hope and peace, I'll find
I dream of blue ridge mornings, I miss the smoky mountain air
I long to see you where the laurel blooms, I pray you're safely waiting there

It's been a lonesome season, but the sun will surely shine
