Paul McCartney - Winter Bird / When Winter Comes

 

 

Must fix the fence by the acre plot

two young foxes have been nosing around

The lambs and the chickens won’t feel safe

until it’s done.

 

I must dig a drain by the carrot patch

the whole crop spoils if it gets too damp

And where will we be with an empty store

when winter comes.

 

When winter comes and food is scarce

we’ll warn our toes to stay indoors

When summer’s gone we’ll fly away

and find the sun when winter comes.

 

I must find the time to plant some trees

in the meadow where the river flows

In time to come they’ll make good shade

for some poor soul.

      The melody "has a serenade in blue touch with a folktale feel". John would like to join in with a second voice if he were here. We all feel that gap.
