Russian Winter by Rick Alan Rice published on 2022-04-19T14:20:59Z Every songwriter in the world is inspired to write songs about the war in Ukraine, and here's mine, lyrics following: RUSSIAN WINTER @Rick Alan Rice - 2022 The Russian winter is a terrible thing You sit and dream about the spring in Ukraine And the Black Sea With the family The cold is numbing, you turn on the TV The news you’re seeing you can hardly believe It’s a bad dream A really sad scene You hear your neighbor yelling out in the hall Sounds of machinery, a knock on your door It’s a bewildering world Like Uncle Joe is calling You can’t believe your eyes, what’s happening now Outside the streets are teeming, filling with sound Men in long coats, with long guns And long knives With long faces, worrying about Their long lives (In Russian) Across the sky grows a strange light Across the fields and the plains Over the sea, under the waves Ukraina – Ukraine Remember me as a man who lost his life – (In Russian) For the cause of what I can’t conceive Remember me as a man who loved his wife (In Russian) Who dreamed of a future by the sea The guy beside me looks as white as a ghost The air smells bad the truck is filling with smoke It’s a bad dream But this is really happening There’s people shooting, falling dead on the ground It seems impossible but there is the sound Of people crying, dying How can we let this happen? My fear is driving me to run from the sound I feel no shame I’m not a part of this now There’s no humanity I’ve got to get back to home to my family The shrieking missiles screaming near to my head My feet are flying, I’d be better off dead Than staying here in the fight – a fight that’s not right What are they asking? Somewhere in the night Somewhere there must be someone asking (In Russian) Across the sky grows a strange light Across the fields and the plains Over the sea, under the waves Ukraina – Ukraine Remember me as a man who lost his life – (In Russian) For the cause of what I can’t conceive Remember me as a man who loved his wife (In Russian) Who dreamed of a future by the sea Genre Rock
