It's seventeen degrees across the Rockies / A winter storm is howling 'cross the plains
I'm sitting in my house halfway to the clouds / With snowdrifts reaching up to window panes
The furnaces does it's duty with a passion / The generator keeps the lights from going dim
My tabby starts to scratching at the back door / He meows and looks at me, I look at him
It's another world outside our home / So different from our yesterday
Sometimes I think I'd like to go / But now I know I need to stay
The music shifts like autumn's skies / I keep time with the drummer
Leave this wintered world behind / There's a door I hope to find
Stepping through I wouldn't mind / The gentle winds of summer
We had a dream of industry before us / But circumstances filled you with dark greed
He forced me from the company I started / With signals I was not prepared to read
Betrayed by friends and she who once had loved me / Betrayed and sealed away in frozen sleep
That thirty years would pass within a heart's beat / Awakened in a single future leap
Now I'm standing in an unfamiliar city / This world is new yet many things the same
The company I started was a failure / He and she had no one they could blame
My wand'rings led me to a mad inventor / He said he found the bridge and reverse time
Starting at the base of wrongful history / Find the ladder I was meant to climb
It's another world outside our home / So different from our yesterday
Sometimes I think I'd like to go / But now I know I need to stay
The music shifts like autumn's skies / I keep time with the drummer
Leave this wintered world behind / There's a door I hope to find
Stepping through I wouldn't mind / The gentle winds of summer
Returning thirty years I set the clock again / Followed breadcrumbs laid out by myself
Searching, found the soulmate I was meant to have / Wrote the pages for the book upon the shelf
Made a future bright with fame and glory / Love and laughter worth more to me than gold
When winter roars I know it's not forever / For summer waits beyond the door's threshold
It's another world outside our home / So different from our yesterday
Sometimes I think I'd like to go / But now I know I need to stay
The music shifts like autumn's skies / I keep time with the drummer
Leave this wintered world behind / There's a door I hope to find
Stepping through I wouldn't mind / The gentle winds of summer
