Blackberry winter comes without a warning Just when you think that spring’s around to stay So you wake up on a cold rainy morning And wonder what on earth became of May. Blackberry winter only lasts a few days, Just long enough to get you feeling sad When you think of all the love that you wasted On someone whom you never really had. I’ll never get over losing you But I’ve had to learn that life goes on And the memories grow dim like a half forgotten song ‘Til the blackberry winter reminds me you are gone. And I get so lonely, most of all in springtime I wish I could enjoy the first of May But I know it means that blackberry winter Is not too far away.
