Northwind

The northwind

Is sitting at my bedside

And I can feel upon my face

Its fingers of crystal lace

Lord, the northwind

Is lying down beside me

And upon its icy breath

Are kisses of certain death

Singing, "Come to me!"

Singing, "Come to me!"

Lover

You know you’ve got to get here

Leave all else behind

Come drive from my mind

The northwind

Somewhere

The lovers are enfolding

Deep within their transfixed eyes

A winter lover dormant lies

Lord, waiting

To comfort in their parting

To bring a final end to pain

Reveal the loss obscure the gain

Singing, "Come to me!"

Singing, "Come to me!"

Lover

You know you’ve got to get here

How much longer can I fight

The caresses in the night

Of the northwind?

The northwind

Is sitting at my bedside

And I can feel upon my face

Its fingers of crystal lace

Lord, the northwind

Is lying down beside me

And upon its icy breath

Are kisses of certain death

Singing, "Come to me!"

Singing, "Come to me!"

Lover

You know you’ve got to get here

Leave all else behind

Come drive from my mind

The northwind

The northwind
