THE SNOW, THE SEA

 

Oh the snow it melts the soonest

When the winds begin to sing

And each night that gives its way

To the glorious light

A new dawning

It brings me ever nearer

To the one that would be mine

Oh the snow it melts the soonest

When two hearts will beat in time

 

Oh the sea she is the cruelest

When the skies begin to pour

So brave my heart

This siren knows

My faith she can restore

She could bring him ever nearer

Oh this one that I adore

Only if the sea gives him back to me

Will two hearts wait nevermore

 

Oh the snow it is the coldest

When the winds begin to blow

And the wintry haze

Has taken the place

Of the warm autumnal glow

It brings me ever nearer

To the one that would be mine

Oh the snow it melts the soonest

When two hearts will beat in time

 

So never say me farewell

For this I now must plead

I will wait here until

All the rivers run still

And the swallows take their leave

And when the young men ask me

If soon I will be free

I will say to them

That the sea has given

My true love back to me

 

Come home to me

Come home to me…
