Push it back, back into the ground
I've been waiting for so long
Seeds I've sown, and songs I've sung
I've been waiting for so long

Peace, oh peace, my soul
Last spring I planted seeds of hope
Peace, oh peace, my soul
I'm waiting for them to grow

Months have passed, and so have friends
Well, I'm not ready for the end
Hell, she said, hell it's been
I'm not ready for the end

Peace, oh peace, my soul
Last spring I planted seeds of hope
Peace, oh peace, my soul
I'm waiting for them to grow

Hurt and lies and last goodbyes
And I will not close my eyes to the truth
I will not lie it's been a long winter without you

Birds in V's and life on trees and
To all those coming to me in my sleep
It's been a long winter
It's been a long winter
It's been a long winter without you
