Smiling in Winter

I see the landscape changing
From green and brown to white
And the mercury¹s going down
But I¹m safe here in my apartment
I can watch it unaffected
Ice and snow, ice and snow

Smiling in winter
Snow on your hair
Pine trees in living rooms

We drive on salted highways
In our warm automobiles
We laugh and play with snow
We¹ve lost our fear of winter
Life goes on well protected
Ice and snow, ice and snow

Smiling in winter
Snow on your hat
A twentieth century luxury
