lyrics

Oh, my love,
Don't take my comfort and ease.
Give me room to find another peace.
All the coldness you're deliverin'
Left me in your winds a-shiverin',
And now, must I face this winter alone?

Oh, my love,
I see the stones you hold,
Pockets filled with endless stores of gold,
But when you swim against the river
Your anxious body starts to quiver.
You'll sink; you'll swim,
but surely lose control.

Follow not the path you've led for me -
The harsh demands I make upon my feet.
You must stay your course and follow
No other soul to your tomorrow,
Or wander through this world with lost intent.

Wander through this world with lost intent,
But you were with me everywhere I went.
Now, my guide, my stay, my future
Tore the threads out with the sutures
And lay me bare on a slate of fresh white snow.

Now, must I face this winter alone?
Now, must I face this winter alone?
