There was someone a long time ago
(Come follow me here and then we'll go)
Who played with me whenever it snowed
(To a fortress in the snow)
She lived nearby and I'd walk her home
(On these bushes berries grow)

Then I would go to my own house alone


Then one December bad weather came on
(We will eat them seeds and all)
I went to our shared place and nobody came
(Hand in my hand, nose and nose)
And it was dark before I made my way home
(Shall we marry or shall we go )

And sat at my window and watched the snow come

             Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramA augmentedA
When I had children I asked them to stay
           Chord diagramE MajorE                     Chord diagramD MajorD
When the weather turned bad, indoors to play
Chord diagramA augmentedA                          Chord diagramE MajorE
I tried to make games and be a bold friend
Chord diagramD MajorD
Though strong was the call of the harsh winter wind

They ran out of doors and shouted and sang
(They won't find us from the road)
Their voices went soft as they ran further on
(Thicker branches tangled so)
Till only a trace of their singing did hang
(Flashlights fading, the fire low)

On my eyes and my whiskers where they didn't belong

Then my someone from childhood came into the room
     Chord diagramE MajorE                         Chord diagramD MajorD
And lay her wet head on my withering feet
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                         Chord diagramE MajorE
Her tears wet my lap and she fell asleep soon
      Chord diagramD MajorD
Saying nothing to me just going to sleep

Oh how my head burned as I sat unprepared
(Come marry me here and then we'll go)
I was rendered blind and of the world unaware
(To the places in the snow)
In the quiet of the day, well, I laid her low
(You afire, me aglow)

And used her skin as my skin to go out in the snow
