The Snow Lyrics by Herdman - Hills - Mangsen

At the Turning of the Year

2000

The snow, the snow, it covers the ground
The birches shiver and bend
And the west wind wails with a mournful sound
Of a spirit lost on the land
I met my love on a sweet April morn
When the heather returned to the hills
He called me beauty, a rose among thorns
And I gave my heart with a will
He worked by day in Aberdeen town
And late returned to my bed
Though his kisses lingered as soft as the down
Strange voices came into my head
"Bеware, beware," sang thе whistling lark
"Sweet lies," cried the nighthawk above
"False heart, false heart," the ravens did bark
"Poor fool, poor fool," cooed the dove
Late one night as I sat by the fire
With the voices loud in my ears
The door flew open, the flames rose higher
And a demon's form did appear
He bared his claws and his eyes burned red
He spoke with the voice of the crow
"Before this sunrise your love will lie dead
And peace you never will know."
I pulled a pistol from under my cloak
A pall fell over his face
His body crumbled in fire and smoke
But my love lay dead in his place
And now, the voices have left me alone
The birds are solemn and still
And I roam this wide world of ice and of stone
To cool the fires of hell
The snow, the snow, it covers the ground
The birches shiver and bend
And the west wind wails with a mournful sound
Of a spirit lost on the land
