cold snap on a morning the frost on the ground 
the snowy landscape as you look all around 
an old man's nose swollen red and it glows 
the whistle you hear as the wind blows 
the warmth of the fire a few more logs you would add, 
cooking toast from a fork when I was a lad 
as I look back at before I fill with tears
remembering winters as they once were 
this is all in the past, why should we ponder, 
at the winters gone by that seemed to last ever longer 
well, the climate has changed; the winter's no more 
we boil in the sun heat rose from the core 
what have we done, where's the winter gone 
you might ask as you boil in the sun 
well, think back to when the winters once were 
no spoiling the ozone and polluting the air 
greed rose from you all in the race against haste 
money no option you chose your fate 
blinded by the greed that filled your sense, 
you've ruined the earth have you no sense? 
the heat rising faster this is the end...
can't turn back the hand that created this crime 
let's all hope it eases with a little time
