Lyrics
He came from the North and he brought the snow, snow, snow In the deepest of drifts that billowed against the door, door, door The longest winter I had ever known, known, known We kept each other warm in the snow, snow, snow He led me outside and said we should go, go, go To see how the ice flows piled against the shore, shore, shore Moving water hardened into stone, stone, stone O, how my blood, it rushed, crying go, go, go Ooh Ooh He tended the fire and set it aglow, glow, glow Maple and ash to cheer us against the storm, storm, storm And in the evening flames turned into smouldering coals We kept each other warm in the glow, glow, glow He whispered my name and lay me down slow, slow, slow In a blanket of down he pressed me against the floor, floor, floor Dying embers, in his eyes they shone, shone, shone Breathless the whole night through, we moved slow, slow, slow Ooh Ooh The days stretched their arms, the South winds did blow, blow, blow In through the open window, in through the open door And just like a bird that can't be kept inside a nest he b***ons up his vest He's flown, he flies, he goes, goodbye He knows that I can ne'er know why But I will always hold him close He's there inside my mind The cold wind e'er it blows, blows, blows... Ooh Ooh He came from the North and he brought the snow, snow, snow
