[Verse 1]
It is the winter time of year
A time for all my troubled thoughts, dreams to come clear
And all the seasons I held dear
Seem to have gone and left me 'lone with winter only here

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lonely, forever dreaming
My life is teeming with a yearning
I'd like to be learning

[Chorus]
And it's summer out on the street
Sunflakes fall, snowrays call
Hey mama, it's me saying "Aww..."
A policeman walks a most solitary beat

[Verse 2]
I feel at odds with the summertime
Ice is in my heart and winter's in my mind
I watch the snow upon my blind
As people walk in shorts and sandals everywhere outside

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Lonely, forever hiding
Caught in the icy path of early winter
Outside it's warm and sunlight glimmers
[Chorus]
And it's summer out on the street
Sunflakes fall, the snowrays call
Hey mama, it's me saying "Eyye!"
A policeman walks a most solitary beat

[Verse 3]
Oh, when days are marked by winter's time
Spring and summer counts come racing to my mind
Within my heart the seasons never come inside
At times I hate and curse the world for making winter mine

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lonely, forever dreaming
My life is teeming with a yearning
I'd like to be learning

[Chorus]
And it's summer out on the street
Sunflakes fall, the snowrays call
Hey mama, it's me saying "Ow!"
A policeman walks a most solitary beat
