Emily Smith - Winter Song lyrics

rate me

The leaves are falling from the trees

Farewell for now warm summer breeze

Weather has been good this year

Now the winter will soon be here

The nights are drawing into shorter days

I hear the old folk and the country people say

Don't fear the dark, nature has it all in hand

Time to reflect and renew the tired land

So we'll stoke the fire and light the lamp

Turn our backs in from the damp

Settle down beneath the starry sky

Endure the winter passing by

I see the frost etched upon the glass

In the morning sun he soon moves fast

But he'll be back to claim the frozen ground

With each clear day he surely will be found

The geese fly south to find a warmer home

While the weary bull he soldiers on alone

Children's laughter it crackles in the air

Sparks fly high and they catch them if they dare

So we'll stoke the fire and light the lamp

Turn our backs in from the damp

Settle down beneath the starry sky

Endure the winter passing by

With carols sung, the trees been taken down

We've passed a dram and the bells no longer sound

Snowdrops rise with promise of the spring

There's talk and wonder

At what the year might bring

The blackbird starts to thicken up her nest

While the early lamb, he takes a snowy step

But the north wind's grip it tightens with his chill

And holds the buds closed against their will

So we'll stoke the fire and light the lamp

Turn our backs in from the damp

Settle down beneath the starry sky

Endure the winter passing by
