lyrics

As the pale winter sun says goodbye to those watching
I’m feeling the chill of a long night to come
It seems like a month since I knew my direction
I see my reflection it gleams in the sun

If only the weather was clearer that day
If only I’d heeded the warning
I would not be out here and so far away
While family and friends are in mourning

The trees offer shelter, there’s no time to waste
I must keep my warmth through the night
I will sleep in the ground in the hole I have found
In a place that is right out of sight

Most animals know how to keep themselves warm
When the cold hand of winter sweeps over the ground
If I’m to survive I must walk in their footsteps
And find a way out, if I am to be found alive

Winter to me as a child was so special
I remember the songs and the warm glow of lanterns
Now all that I have on this night of the Solstice
Is the hope that just maybe I will find my way out

What’s that in the distance, I hope I’m not dreaming
Soft light from a window brings joy to my heart
I open the door, a fire is burning
I’m happy that now I can make a new start

Winter to me as a child was so special
I remember the songs, and the warm glow of lanterns
Now I have all I need on this night of the Solstice
I believed in my heart that I would find my way home
Winter to me as a child was so special
I remember the songs and the warm glow of lanterns
Now I have all I need on this night of the Solstice
I believed in my heart that I would find my way home
