about
I wrote this song shortly before the winter solstice and was thinking about how we don't see much snow at this time of year anymore where I live. The rest of the lyrics poured out after that. I performed all the parts to this track with the exception of a harmony part that my wife Stephanie Shatzer sang. This was all recorded in my home studio.
lyrics
While the Sun is Standing Still
I don't know if the snow will ever fall again
It's been a while and all I see is rain
It's December and I don't trust the weatherman
So I'll just wait while the sun is standing still
Ooo wah ooo
Ooo I'll make due
Ooo wah ooo
It's been a long time since a change of view.
There's some land up north that's been calling me
It's seems the weather there more suits my clothes
It's a long trip but the snow is always falling there
If you won't come to me then I will come to you
Ooo wah ooo
Ooo I'll make due
Ooo wah ooo
It's been a long time since a chance of view.
If you don't come to me then I will come to you
Ooo wah ooo
Ooo I'll make due
Ooo wah ooo
It's been a long time since a change of view.
If you don't come to me then I will come to you
I don't know if the snow will ever fall again
It's a been a while and all I see is rain
But it's December, I'm settled in and it's not time to go
So I'll just wait while the sun is standing still
So I'll just wait while the sun is standing still
