Winterchild

You're standing numb Looking back How long already? How could you fool flee to the world Just right before the break of winter? [Chorus] And nothing in this world will change All just stays the same The world - a gate To a thousand deserts, silent and cold And one who's lost what you have lost Does stop at nothing, never rests You're standing pale Damned to go off on your winter-travel Just like the smoke that's always seeking Colder, chiller, higher skies [Repeat chorus] Fly, bird, and sing your song In the way of the desert bird And hide, you fool this bleeding heart In ice and snow, in chill and scorn Save your prayers before they swoon This bitter cold that came so soon Every story has its end His future dreams forever banned Oh my dearest Winterchild Overwhelmed by coldness, ice and snow at night The crows are screaming And fly whirring towards town Soon it will snow- Woe betide those who don't - have home [Repeat chorus] Fly, bird, and sing your song In the way of the desert bird And hide, you fool this bleeding heart In ice and snow, in chill and scorn
