Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Frost on the beer sign Rust on the church bell Wind through the bone-dry pines Howlin’ like hell Smoke from the woodstove Stings in my eyes Calendar nailed to the wall Still stuck in July [Chorus] This winter’s too long I’m tired of the gray Tired of this town I want summer to come I want summer to come around Bare feet on the blacktop Sweat runnin’ down Sun burnin’ brown This winter’s too long I want summer to come around [Verse 2] Salt on the back roads Graveyard’s all stone and crow Bar light flickers at noon Like it’s the only glow Your coat hangs by my doorway You been gone since the leaves fell down I keep talkin’ to your shadow Till the silence drowns me out [Chorus] This winter’s too long I’m tired of the gray Tired of this town I want summer to come I want summer to come around Bare feet on the blacktop Sweat runnin’ down Sun burnin’ brown This winter’s too long I want summer to come around [Bridge] If the thaw never finds us Will I stay here Frozen proud? Or drive west till the sky Starts to open up and shout? (yeah) [Chorus] This winter’s too long I’m tired of the gray Tired of this town I want summer to come I want summer to come around Bare feet on the blacktop Sweat runnin’ down Sun burnin’ brown This winter’s too long I want summer to come around

Verses stay low and brooding with close-mic vocal; chorus lifts with distorted power chords, big reverb on snare, and stacked harmonies. Organ pads and low cello double the root notes in the bridge for a haunted, cinematic swell before the final, shout-along hook., country rock, vocal
