lyrics

He was a winterboy
she was a wintergirl

When they found each other
on the snowy night they sang:
“hold my love until you’re old
and I will find you again”

He was a winterboy
she was a wintergirl

They held their song
but then she fell
and never rose again
on that same stroke
something was born
inside the frosty pines

she waited in there, shimmering
and just beyond his reach
his singing billowed through the years
and rested at her feet

He was a winterboy
he was a winterboy

He died
as an old man, dreaming of snow
asleep
by the fireside
after
he’d gone he followed her song
she never left his side

They skipped
over roots, over frozen ponds
beneath
the cut glass sky
after
he’d gone she followed his song
he never left her side

“Hold my love
until you’re old
and I will find you
again”
