lyrics

Blew in from the coast
To bid farewell at autumn’s close
The newscasters did boast
The blizzard would not alter course

You braved the bitter cold
To lay by my hearth’s warmth

The steeple high the songbird cries in wintertime
Rest my dear
Sheltered by the songbird’s cry in wintertime
Rest my dear
Let your hair down
Rest my dear
Let your hair down
Rest my dear

Fur and fowl both
Burrowed deep beneath the snow
Bundled head to toe
Children run to the valley below

You braved the bitter cold
To lay by my hearth’s warmth

The gossips they say you’ve booked passage today
By air or by sea or freight train
The passage of time fails to be kind
(Don’t be alarmed, I mean no harm, I’ll return ‘fore daybreak)
The gossips transcribe, lurid tales from my life
Pray darling these are but lies
The passage of time rattles my mind
(Don’t be alarmed, I mean no harm, I’ll return ‘fore daybreak)
