Like Winter
(words and music by Randy Wayne Belt)
Hello, what do you want from me?
Oh I know, puzzled as you can be
So, what do you think?
Should we not give away all the thoughts we could say?
Well I don’t know
If we turn it around in your eyes I could drown
They make me feel like Winter
Just look what we found as the world goes around spinning on unhindered
Turn it around in your eyes I could drown
Like Winter
Goodnight, everything seems to be just right
Just right couldn’t you just agree that we’re right?
The difference you see
Between love between life between death between strife
And I’ve been there!
If we turn it around in your eyes I could drown
They make me feel Like Winter
Just look what we found as the world goes around spinning on unhindered
Look what we found, in your eyes I could drown
Like Winter
Sometimes it’s instances - marginal lies
That make the distances
Between love between life between death between strife
And I’ve been there!
If we turn it around in your eyes I could drown
They make me feel Like Winter
Just look what we found as the world goes around spinning on unhindered
Hit enter, Like Winter, Like Winter, Like Winter

Song Notes:
This song was written long ago but sat on the shelf waiting for the right drum sounds and arrangement. Finally, the tom tom work on drums, for which the song was built around, was able to be implemented so the song could be put together properly.
What does it mean when the song says “If we turn it around in your eyes I could drown - They make me feel Like Winter”? Is it a cold feeling or just the opposite? Is it tears causing the drowning, or is it metaphorical of being deeply captured by someone’s eyes? We’ll leave it to you to try and figure that out from the rest of the lyrics. There’s a deviation in lyrics on the last chorus that was accidental. See if you can find it. This song is the seventh track from the new album ‘Back There Somewhere’ by Barley Station released in September, 2017.
