Verse 2:
She will forgive me for I bring water, a sunny window to sit by
Oleander, I understand her, she's just waiting for the time,
To say it's alright,another season, has brought us another chance,
We're together, in this hot weather,to dance.
Chorus:
C G
Oleander, I think you'd better,
C D
I think you made it through another winter.
Verse 3
Well nothing's ended, it's all been mended, it's the way that it should be,
You're coming back, you're coming back, it was so lonely here just me,
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)
