Burden-


The heavy burden of snow and cold
Makes you feel your growing old.

It'll climb on you and weigh you down.
You feel you carry the weight of a town.

It'll beat and pound,
'Til you fall to the ground.

You sleep silently,
Though the wind is blowing violently.

Dreaming a while, then your mind goes blank.
You hide in the snow deep in the bank.

Your neighbor finds you soundly sleeping,
And tells your parents through their weeping.
