Lyrics

When I left you… the embers of our fire…
were sitting red-hot… in your cast iron stove
Cottage full of blankets… and a happy old cat…
laying cross your lap… in the egg-shaped glow

Promise to be there… … when the frozen hills melt
We'll plant the garden… … Build your window a shelf
Promise to be there… … when the garlic pierce the snow
We'll fold those blankets in a pile…… like beets and carrots in a row

When I left you… we walked an icy path…
winter nights are long… with cold winds round the door
but Sunrise sets fire… to the kindling of your axe…
Friends will make you merry… and the Wine will keep you warm

Orion climbs… thru the frigid sky…
in the midnight hour… shooting stars
but see my spring… is coming fast…
and soon I'll be… where you are… …
