																Lyrics
								
									It's been a long winter, I'm tired of this cold
It's dark when I get home,  It's dark when I go
I need to feel sunshine, let it wash out my soul
It's been a long winter, And I'm tired of this cold.
It's been a long winter, when will it end
Seems like a lifetime since, I felt the sun on my skin
I need to lay by the ocean, let it wash out my soul
It's been a long winter, And I'm tired of this cold.
Warmer days are coming I know
To wash away this gloom and melt this snow
I want salt in the air, not salt on the roads
It's been a long winter, I'm tired of this cold.
It's been a long winter, been covered in snow
I long to smell flowers, and feel sand in my toes
Wake to birds singing, saying get up let's go
It's been a long winter, And I'm tired of this cold.
I'm gonna give away my gloves and my coats  [Bm  F#m G]
Drive as far on Highway 1 as I can go  [Em  A2]
Cuz it's been a long winter, I'm tired of this cold
I need to feel sunshine, let it wash out my soul
Yeah I need to feel the sunshine, just to be whole.
It's been a long winter, and I'm tired of this cold.
