She says, its cold where you brought me

He says, darling, dont worry

You can stay in my arms

Until the springtime comes

Well let the snow drift around us

And wait for the robin and the crocus

To tell us that our love has again found the sun



Lone oak stands tall,

Bare arms scratch the sky,

Dry leaves cracking beneath our feet

Hand in hand weve watched

The autumn fires burn -

Summers dreams collapsing,

Chestnuts in need of gathering,

The whole world lies rotting in the street



Soon we will walk with collars high

Like ramparts raised for the siege

Well bow to her beauty,

Cower from her fury

Sent as a judgement for a slight

Long past forgotten

Winters love once again unrequited

Winters love once again unrequited



She says, babe are you sleeping?

He says, no, wide awake and thinking

Of a dream I just had about the two of us

He takes his hand to her cheek now,

His lips to her brow,

Their whispers pile softly

By the foot of the bed
