I go back to the place I was born

Between love and hate I am torn

I'm not turning back

I'm not turning back now

I let go of your warm hand

Life has changed from where I stand

I'm not turning back

I'm not turning back now

But I don't think that you will agree to hear me

I don't think that you will agree

Here's a winter song

Here's for those who long

For brighter days and summer haze

I cannot lay, I cannot longer wait

This time of year you will find me here

With my shattered dream

Things are not as they seem

An unbeliever's only wintersong

There was a time when I could hear you say

Life is nothing if you don't stay

I'm not turning back

I'm not turning back now

You're looking good as I'm about to leave

Nothing here, nothing more to achieve

I'm not turning back

I'm not turning back now

But I don't think that you will agree to hear me

I don't think that you will agree

Here's a winter song

Here's for those who long

For brighter days and summer haze

I cannot lay, I cannot longer wait

This time of year you will find me here

With my shattered dream

Things are not as they seem

An unbeliever's only wintersong

Here's a winter song

Here's for those who long

For brighter days and summer haze

I cannot lay, I cannot longer wait

Here's a winter song

Here's for those who long

For brighter days and summer haze

I cannot lay, I cannot longer wait

This time of year you will find me here

With my shattered dream

Things are not as they seem

An unbeliever's only wintersong

There was a time when I could hear you say

Life is nothing if you don't stay

I'm not turning back

I'm not turning back now
