It is a cold winter
Away is the song bird
And gone is her Traveller
She waits at home
The sun is on holiday
No leaves on the trees
The animals sleep while the north wind blows
The snowflakes are falling
The roof a white blanket
There's ice on the window pane
She waits alone
She sits by the fireside
The room is so warm
Her children are sleeping
She waits in their home
Passing the time
Everything's fine
It is a long winter
Away is the songbird
She waits for her Traveller
So far from home
She sits by the fireside
The room is so warm
There's ice on the window
She lonely
Alone
