Winter’s Song Cowboy Junkies

She says, 'it's cold where you brought me'
He says, 'Darling, don't worry
You can stay in my arms
Until the springtime comes
We'll 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 'neath our feet
Hand in hand, we've watched
The autumn fires burn
Summer's 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
We'll bow to her beauty
Cower from her fury
Sent as a judgment for a slight
Long past forgotten
Winter's love once again unrequited
Winter's love once again unrequited
