Verse 3
Well nothing's ended, it's all been mended, it's the way that it should be,

this time no promises of what's to come, we'll just live it for the day,
Oleander, I see you stand there and I know you'll be okay.
Chorus:
Oleander,
I think you'd better,
I think you made it through another winter.(x2)
