Once I knew all the things that I wanted in love On this snow covered ground I was born Some part of me knows what a young heart can give And love would be warm where I live And I walk these hidden roads I love these snowflakes and this cold And these homes with yellow windows Shine their warmth into my soul Gentle wind you are an angel As if you were flesh and blood But that chimney smoke's your lover I have watched you making love Not long ago, I held a woman so close I wonder why I let her go Oh what a year, I've learned to live with my fear Will I ever hold love so near? In the mornings I remember and I try hard not to cry Weel she knows the love I send her Will be warm until I die And she walks this road inside me With these snowflakes and this cold May these homes with yellow windows Shine their warmth into our souls Shine their warmth into our souls
