Once I knew all the things that I wanted in love

On this snow covered ground I was born

Some part of me knows what a young heart can give

And love would be warm where I live



And I walk these hidden roads

I love these snowflakes and this cold

And these homes with yellow windows

Shine their warmth into my soul



Gentle wind you are an angel

As if you were flesh and blood

But that chimney smoke's your lover

I have watched you making love



Not long ago, I held a woman so close

I wonder why I let her go

Oh what a year, I've learned to live with my fear

Will I ever hold love so near?



In the mornings I remember and I try hard not to cry

Weel she knows the love I send her

Will be warm until I die



And she walks this road inside me

With these snowflakes and this cold

May these homes with yellow windows

Shine their warmth into our souls

Shine their warmth into our souls
