Heard the birds, they were humming, winter's coming down
Shattered silence hit the town, winter's coming down
On the pond ice hardened, winter's coming down
Two lovers sadly parted, winter's coming down
Mary came with hope in her hands
But he refused to start the dance
He said Mary times'a'hard it is snowing in my yard
Winds'a'blowin' crows'a'showin'
Winter's coming down, winter's coming down
On her lips, shattered words and smoke
On her lips, shattered words and smoke
On her lips, shattered words and smoke
There's a light in a chapel where people gather around
Some are poor some wealthy, they were looking to be found
On the side sat Mary listened the bells chime
Crows came to sit beside her, together they found a rhyme
On her lips taste of bitter, her hands bitten by frost
I am cursing the heartless winter she took the love of mine
I am cursing the heartless winter she took the love of mine
I am cursing the heartless winter she took the love of mine
I am cursing the heartless winter she took the love of mine
