The Longest Winter Lyrics by Hadestown Original Broadway Cast

If the Fates Allow (A Hadestown Holiday Album)

2020

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 buttons 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...
Ooh
Ooh
He came from the North and he brought the snow, snow, snow
