Winter Always Comes As A Surprise
(Johan Bengtsson)
B-side of The Christmas EP
Mist revealed the end
Of Summer’s sun
Autumn’s here my friend
The birds move on
I’ll go too
When one becomes two
But the men
Who are wise
Know that Winter always comes
As a surprise
Snow removed the fear
Of Autumn winds
Christmas time is near
Forget about your sins
Switch your tires
And light your fires
But the men
Who are wise
Know that Winter always comes
As a surprise
Rain took away the snow
And children cried
Say is it really so
That Winter died?
Christmas time
In Swedish clime
But the men
Who are wise
Know that Winter always comes
As a surprise
Somehow I know this year
We’ll meet again
Our sadness disappears
With relatives and friends
The food is great
The setting is gay
And the men
Who are wise
Know that Santa never comes
As a surprise
Now I see the snow
Falling down
Why hide inside the house
Now we know
Winter always comes as a surprise
