Lyrics
Winter is long,
And the sky is grey;
I wept for my lady,
She came
She went away
Queen of my life,
Enthroned in my sea;
Icebergs bring shipwreck,
A cold grave
For you and for me.
Always a shadow to haunt your heart,
Always perfume on the breeze;
Wounds heal so slowly when torn apart,
Painful except when they freeze.
Look into my heart,
Peer into my soul;
Where once there was laughter,
Now there is
Gouged out a hole
Frost on the trees,
They long shed their leaves;
Sunshine in Winter
Thaws none nor
Melts but it grieves.
Always a shadow to haunt your heart,
Always perfume on the breeze;
Wounds heal so slowly when torn apart,
Painful except when they freeze.
We think we'll escape,
We think we'll be free;
Love must be atoned for,
To pay for
The close harmony.
So bring me your ice,
And bring me your snow;
I welcome that numbness
Now that I
know you must go.
Always a shadow to haunt your heart,
Always perfume on the breeze;
Wounds heal so slowly when torn apart,
Painful except when they freeze
Painful except when they freeze
