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
