Sounds of the Winter by Kofi Young Lyrics
[Verse]
Sounds of the winter too
Sunshine upon the mountains – many a distant strain
From cheery railroad train – from nearer field, barn, house
The whispering air – even the mute crops, garner'd apples, corn
Children's and women's tones – rhythm of many a farmer and of flail
An old man's garrulous lips among the rest, think not we give out yet
Forth from these snowy hairs we keep up yet the lilt
Sounds of the winter too
Sunshine upon the mountains – many a distant strain
From cheery railroad train – from nearer field, barn, house
The whispering air – even the mute crops, garner'd apples, corn
Children's and women's tones – rhythm of many a farmer and of flail
An old man's garrulous lips among the rest, think not we give out yet
Forth from these snowy hairs we keep up yet the lilt
