“Wintertime wind” resumes the themes of the previous song, “Summer’s almost gone” (especially “When summer’s gone/
Where will we be” and “The winter’s coming on”, in the last two verses).
This song resembles a folk ballad: the rhyme scheme is ABCB (second verse) and ABAB (first verse), there...
[Verse 1]
Wintertime winds blow cold the season
Fallen in love, I'm hopin' to be
Wind is so cold, is that the reason?
Keeping you warm, your hands touching me
[Chorus]
Come with me dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be
[Verse 2]
Wintertime winds blue and freezing
Coming from northern storms in the sea
Love has been lost, is that the reason?
Trying so desperately to be free
[Chorus]
Come with me dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be
La, la, la, la
[Chorus]
Come with me dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be
