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)
Asus2Then I would F#go to my owBn house alEone
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?)
Asus2And sat at my wF#indow and wBatched the snow Ecome
When I had chDildren I asAked them to stay
When the weEather turned bad, indoDors to play
AI tried to make games and bEe a bold friend
DThough 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)
Asus2On my eyes and my wF#hiskers where thBey didn't bEelong
Then my soDmeone from childhood came iAnto the room
And lEay her wet head on my withDering feet
Her Atears wet my lap and she fEell asleep soon
SayingD nothing to me just going to sleep
[Bridge:]

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 heAsus2r skin as myF# skin to go Bout in the sEnow
