Brumley Some glad morning when this life is over I'll fly away To a home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away 'll fly away, oh, Glory I'll fly away When I die, Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away To a land where joy shall never end I'll fly away I'll fly away, oh, Glory I'll fly away When I die, Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/susan-engstr-mcauliffe/message

The past few weeks it has continued to be Winter around here in all its glory. Snow, Wind, Cold, Blizzard Warnings and everything else Winter related. And it is April, usually a time of warmer weather, Spring showers and a look forward to Summer.  I couldn't help but get out my guitar and write a song about this Winter. It is definietely not a love song. But it comes from the heart.  Winter You're Growing Old words by Susan Engström McAuliffe (sung to the tune of Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel) Hello Winter you were my friend But I’m tired of seeing you again You never seem to want to disappear                              Even though Spring is oh so near You stay and keep on snowing And being cold Winter you’re growing old Down the driveway I try to go                                                                   But there’s too much ice, there so much snow I slip and slide and finally hit the ground Buried in snow with drifts all around And I pray someone will find me Before I freeze My toes and knees And in the early morning day                        I hear the weatherman say                                    Another storm out West  is coming here So don’t you put away  your snow gear Because once again you’ll need it               To fight the snow Winter you’re growing old I’m such a fool thinking Spring                                              When there’s still snow on everything                                     It seems we never ever see the sun Will the warmth of Spring ever come Or is this what climate change is A big white abyss Winter you’re growing old Someday soon it will be Spring    We will sweat and forget everything                                              It will seem like Winter was never here                        With mosquitoes buzzing in our ear And we will long for a cooler days                                Looking through the haze Of a never ending Summer --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/susan-engstr-mcauliffe/message
