Oh no, it might snow Glued to the radio Van comes to a halt Buses won’t come at all Oooh Waiting for the snow to fall Everything is cancelled You’d prefer the rain Snow could come again Oooh Watch the weather app I’ll take another nap Dropping mercury Watch the snow from my balcony Oooh

Finland, the Homeland My mother’s motherland She came here 50 years ago She’ll tell you more than you want to know About how there was so much snow They had to wear 5 layers of clothes She tries to hand the old ways down Now they’re our family’s own The motherland moves along We still sing the same old songs She learned in school when she was a kid Now they’re songs that I cherish Warped through necessity Never wrote down recipes She makes four different casseroles Carrot, liver, turnip and sweet potato Traditions start to blur It’s important to talk to her I know I’m not much of a cook Now I know there is no book I’ll pass on her memories Of being young and running free Of neighbour kids and Helsinki Of growing up and deciding to leave

Mother says put the phone down I'm sending wishes to friends afar Finnish radio blaring Dad is tending the bar Fill my glass with Brandy Fill my glass with wine Drinking with our family It's a pretty good time Turn up the fireplace Turn down the Bublé Fighting over the stereo Made to feel like a kid again Never gave you grandkids It’s a future you can’t predict This is now our holidays But this seems pretty perfect Fill my glass with Brandy Fill my glass with wine Drinking with our family It's a really good time

Cold & Sunny 02:40
Getting up before the sun Brought some plants inside last month Cold and sunny / Winter’s coming Some petunias hanging on Hope they don’t freeze before dawn Cold and sunny / Winter’s cunning Gaze out at the melting frost Vapours from the rooftops Cold and Sunny / Winter’s stunning Hummingbirds still come to feed Wonder where they go to sleep Cold and sunny / Winter’s honey Daylight Savings is a scam Can’t see a thing at 4pm Cold and sunny / Winter’s funny

Winter Stars 02:32
Lyrics by Sara Teasdale I went out at night alone; The young blood flowing beyond the sea Seemed to have drenched my spirit’s wings— I bore my sorrow heavily. But when I lifted up my head From shadows shaken on the snow, I saw Orion in the east Burn steadily as long ago. From windows in my father’s house, Dreaming my dreams on winter nights, I watched Orion as a girl Above another city’s lights. Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too, The world’s heart breaks beneath its wars, All things are changed, save in the east The faithful beauty of the stars.
