Hey Sweet Annie
Don't take it so bad
You know the summer's coming soon
Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon
Your daddy told you
When you were a girl
The kind of things that come to those who wait
So give it a rest girl
Take a deep breath girl
And meet me at the Bay State tonight
And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it's been falling all day long
What else is new
What could I do
I wrote a valley winter song
To play for you
And late December
Can drag a man down
You feel it deep in your gut
Short days and afternoons spent pottering around
In a dark house with the windows painted shut
Remember New York
Staring outside
As reckless winter made its way
From State Island to the Upper West Side
Whiting out our streets along the way
And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it's been falling all day long
What else is new
What can I do
But sing this valley winter song
I wrote for you
Don't take it so bad
You know the summer's coming soon
Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon
Your daddy told you
When you were a girl
The kind of things that come to those who wait
So give it a rest girl
Take a deep breath girl
And meet me at the Bay State tonight
And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it's been falling all day long
What else is new
What could I do
I wrote a valley winter song
To play for you
And late December
Can drag a man down
You feel it deep in your gut
Short days and afternoons spent pottering around
In a dark house with the windows painted shut
Remember New York
Staring outside
As reckless winter made its way
From State Island to the Upper West Side
Whiting out our streets along the way
And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it's been falling all day long
What else is new
What can I do
But sing this valley winter song
I wrote for you

This is a really great song. I agree with lily(myoneandonly), especially because of this part:
And late December
Can drag a man down
You feel it deep in your gut
Short days and afternoons spent pottering around
In a dark house with the windows painted shut
And how he says not to worry, Summer will be here soon. Such a wonderfully sweet song.
it IS cold here in PA (where i am also, lol) now and this song always makes winter and the cold a little bit more bearable.
plus it's december so i need something to listen to during the short days, and this song is absolutely PERFECT :)
I totally feel the whole depressing feeling of winter. Its my favorite season, but it makes me sad at the same time.
i've only just got into this song - now i love it. events in my life mean that this song really has a deep meaning for me.
I love that line "Your daddy told you, when you were a girl, the kind of things that come to those who wait." I think it's a great lyrical change on the old saying, it forces the listener to do a little bit of work to understand it. I think these guys write great music. Good stuff!

just remember: don't take it so bad, you know the summer's coming soon!
