I can tell that fall is coming
I can feel it in my bones
And I know it's bringing winter
With a bitter biting cold
The kind of cold that soaks up darkness
And puts it in your soul
When it's gone it leaves you empty
And you've gotten rather old
And you're leaving as well
You're leaving as well
The only thing to keep the black out
Is the one thing I despise
But once the black gets in I know that
I won't put up a fight
Change is hard, but winter's harder
Well at least it is for me
And I don't know how I'm gonna survive it
If I want to be free
And you're leaving as well
You're leaving as well
I hope the winter doesn't kill me
I hope the winter doesn't kill us both
So winter's coming yes I know that
I'm preparing for the fight
But I know that if I make it
I'll see the summer's holy light
Minnesota, please go easy
Let your weather come and pass
Minnesota, I'll be waiting
Don't let your winter last
And you're leaving as well
You're leaving as well
I hope the winter doesn't kill me
I hope the winter doesn't kill us both
I hope the winter doesn't kill me
I hope the winter doesn't kill us both
