The hounds of winter

Mercury falling
i rise from my bed,
collect my thoughts together
i have to hold my head
it seems that she's gone
and somehow i am pinned by
the hounds of winter
howling in the wind
I walk through the day
my coat around my ears
i look for my companion
i have to dry my tears
it seems that she's gone
leaving me too soon
i'm as dark as december
i'm as cold as the man in the moon
I still see her face
as beautiful as day
it's easy to remember
remember my love that way
all i hear is that lonesome sound
the hounds of winter
they follow me down
I can't make up the fire
the way that she could
i spend all my days
in the search for dry wood
board all the windows and close the front door
i can't believe she won't be here anymore
I still see her face
as beautiful as day
it's easy to remember
remember my love that way
all i hear is that lonesome sound
the hounds of winter
they follow me down
A season for joy
a season for sorrow
where she's gone
i will surely, surely follow
she brightened my day
she warmed the coldest night
the hounds of winter
they got me in their sights
I still see her face
as beautiful as day
it's easy to remember
remember my love that way
all i hear is that lonesome sound
the hounds of winter
they harry me down
