Here we go at last with my competition entry. A loud and punky little love song.
Thanks to everyone for all comments received in Lyrics and WIP sections. Looking forward to any more feedback and comments!

Intro
Now that you're here
Driving all the darkness out of sight
V1
I used to wake
Shipwrecked on the icebergs of regret
But the glaciers I cried
Were vaporized and dried
by the Spring that started when we met
CH
Winters finished
And finally your daylight melts the night
I'm not shiv'ring round a candle
Any more now you're here
Driving all the darkness out of sight
V2
When I'm alone
Food and sleep are things that I forget
No more putting myself first
My clouds are fit to burst
Thawing all the icicles I wept
M8
The trees are singing,
The birds are turning tail
I want to cast the anchors off
And raise the racing sail
You laugh and say that yesterday
We hadn't yet begun
Spring's for learning how to walk:
when Summer comes we'll run...
