Lyrics

I visit the old tree
In the gray of winter
By the mountain
In its shawl of days
Gathered around me in deep browns and velvet moss
And the short grass of winter
These are the days
That last forever
These are the moments we cling to warmth
The season charms through me like ribbons of rivers
Weaves in my heart our story
Old man winter
Has come to the mountain
Wearing his hat
Of snow-covered days
And as the seasons never really leave us
Our lost love is found
Never to part again
Take my hand
Sit by the fire
Rest all our thoughts
For we have travelled far
Whisper a dream a lifetime in making
For I have no thoughts of leaving
These are the days
I hurry faster
To sit by the window
Like a flame and gaze
Patterns of ice with each breath I am taking
Full as the moon sweeps faster
Old man winter
Has come to the mountain
Wearing his hat
Of snow-covered days
And as the seasons never really leave us
Our lost love is found
Never to part again
