The Door Into Summer (FAWM 2026-5)

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