When you hear the roll of the coming wind
Tell me if you know that a storm is in
Rustling your hair and a touch of skin
You must think that I lost in the end
Are you looking up at auburn sky?
The sea washed in and it filled my eyes
I turned to the west where it all went grey
But the ships don't sail for another day
Oo-o-o O-o-o-o Ooo
Oo-oo-o-o-oo-ooo
Oo-o-o O-o-o-o Ooo
Oo-oo-o-o-oo-ooo
Mmm
Hidden with the rock on the jagged shawl
Where the mountains sing and the prairies howl
It was all laid bare at the open ground
Yet the summer falls quiet on a lonely town
If I'm lying down in a bed of snow
And tip-toeing on the old railroad
Will you take a hammer and a broken frame?
Listen out for the sound of rain
The years were long and you seemed so frail
The stars were bright and the moon was pale
We lay right here on the turning blue
But the winter came and it took you too
Yeah the winter came and it took you too
