He came from the north
He brought snow snow snow
In the deepest of drifts
That billowed against the door door door
The longest winter i had ever known known known
We kept each other warm in the snow snow snow
He led me outside and said we should go go go
To see how the ice floes piled against the shore shore shore
Moving water hardened into stone stone stone
Oh how my blood it rushed crying go go go
He tended fire he set it aglow glow glow
Maple and ash to cheer us against the storm storm storm
And in the evening light turned into smouldering coals
We kept each other warm in the glow glow glow
He whispered my name and laid me down slow slow slow
In a blanket of down he pressed me against the floor floor floor
Dying embers in his eyes the show show show
Breathless the whole night through we moved slow slow slow
The days stretched their arms
The south winds did blow blow blow
In through the open window in through the open door
And just like a bird that can't be kept inside a nest
He buttons up his vest he's flown he flies he goes goodbye
He knows that i can bear no eyes
But i will always hold him close he's there inside my mind
The cold we know it blows blows
He came from the north
He brought the snow
