It blows and snows outside
Inside the fire burns ***
And it's not the winter
The winter grim
The cold blue grin
Of dead desire
The flames that feed
They are not fire
My winter has come to bury me
Bury me deep in a hole
My winter has come to take me away
My winter has come to bury me
Darken my day
And all I want is a winter to stay
It blows and snows outside
An empty bed
The banished flames are flickers
They are visions that are dead
And the frozen glass is milky
The power line's all gone grey
The seven seething sailors
They have all just gone away
My winter has come to bury me
Bury me deep in a hole
My winter has come to take me away
My winter has come to bury me
Darken my day
And all I want is a winter to stay
It blows and snows outside
Inside the fire is gone
The blackened crooked stovepipe
It just looks all wrong
But first light is not far away
The wind, it howls thicker
The unrelenting winter hums
Thy name is thinned
My winter has come to bury me
Bury me deep in a hole
My winter has come to take me away
My winter has come to bury me
Darken my day
And all I want is a winter to stay
My winter has come to bury me
Bury me deep in a hole
My winter has come to bury me

And all I want is a winter to stay
My winter has come to bury me
