I come in hot from the mountains Cold winds stinging my hair Blinded black by the shiny snow Blinded white by the thickening air

Lay yourself down my dear Place your heavy head on the snow Let it trickle and cover you down Let it soothe all that you know

You run to me both hot and cold It changes from day to day Sweeping wind across the land Until the white winter’s fade

Lay your self down my dear Place your heavy head on the snow Let it trickle and cover you down Let it soothe all that you know

Could this be what we hoped for Could this be what we need Could it be the thaw we asked for Could it be the hint of spring

White capped waves flow forth Drowning all in their way You want to ride them home Won’t listen to what they say

Lay your self down my dear Place your heavy head on the snow Let it trickle and cover you down Let it soothe all that you know
