lyrics

The stepmother sun in the twilight has come
It’s a cold, cold day
She sees me here coatless and shivering pale
She calls but then scolds me away

“Oh Lady of Winter won’t you please let me stay
I want to feel you on my skin”
But her light is a warmless one, brittle and mean
My sigh turns to frost as I follow my footprints back in

Oh - Wintered in....

Miss Aurora you have such a beautiful name
Befitting a girl of your grace
I’d gladly brave 40 crystal clear nights
Just for a glimpse of your face

So often you tease us and leave us in want
One shimmering sweep then you go
Oh pity the sleep-laden eyes of the dreamers
Who lay unsuspecting in bed while you swirl your hello...

Oh - Wintered in....

The wind and the dark are a hooligan pair
laughing and howling in glee
disturbing the peace of this ice shrouded eve
taunting sheew whistle woo tee lee dee

I would come out and join you fine mischievous boys
Heed your swaggering swashbuckle dare
But no - I'll play it safe in the warmth of my cabin
Throw birch on the fire to light the walls' withering stare

Oh - Wintered in....
