In winter's passing by old Steven's bay She roams with a blue tear beneath her ragged veil Down every lane she drifts, the snow at her feet Turning each corner, never to be seen ♪ Those who pass by her will hear a faint song See softness in her eyes and sharpness on her tongue But what does she sing of behind that veneer? And what does she wish for behind those blue tears? Springtime awaits her and her song Watch for her shadows, near you they could fall Then just by the moment, they'll be gone Springtime is calling for her to move along ♪ Once I was caught by the sweet melody She wished for a love in the winter buried deep She said, "Don't kill us, no! Don't let it leave! Or you will end up, child, alone on these streets!" Springtime awaits her and her song Watch for her shadows, near you they could fall Then just by the moment, they'll be gone Springtime is calling for her to move along ♪ Springtime awaits her, like a moment she'll be gone Springtime is calling for her to move along
