Bulbs

I garden in October

It’s a promise to myself

That I’m gonna make it through the winter

I’m gonna make it

I plant bulbs in November

And I cross my fingers

I hope I’m gonna make it through this winter

I hope I’m gonna make it

I buy seeds in December

And I pray to a god I don’t know

Lord, I wanna make it through the winter

Lord I’m wanna make it

Though it’s dark outside

Though I can’t run and hide from my feelings

Though I’m sick to death

Of myself and my loneliness

I know I’m gonna make it

I trust that by the summer

I will see you face again

Cause I’m gonna make it through the winter

I’m gonna make it

I’ll feel the warmth and splendor

And I’ll let the light back in

I’m gonna make it through this winter

I’m gonna make it

Though it’s dark outside

Though I can’t run and hide from my feelings

Though I’m sick to death

Of myself and my loneliness

I know I’m gonna make it

The bulbs will turn to flowers

My bare feet will touch the ground

I’m gonna make it through the winter

You know I’m gonna make it

I hope I make it through this winter
