Winter Flowers
Winter's Tale: Love Beyond Graves
Lyrics
I packed my bags and I went north
I embarked on a journey towards the north
Where winter's cold but runs its course
Where the cold of winter persists
I met a soldier dressed in blue
I encountered a soldier clad in blue
He brought me flowers on his horse
He presented me with flowers while riding his horse
Mm, mm, mm, mmm
(Musical interlude, no specific lyrical content)
Mm, mm, mm, mmm
-And when he chose to ride away
When he chose to depart, I placed the flowers on his grave
I put the flowers on his grave
He said we'd meet in heaven's skies
He assured we would reunite in the skies of heaven
He said my soul would be his bride
He claimed my soul would be his bride
But he was gone, gone, gone when I came
But he was absent when I arrived, emphasizing loss
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-I waited there inside the light
I lingered in the light, reflecting on my life
Looking back upon my life
Fearful of descending alone, as heaven is my sole home
Afraid to go back down alone
For heaven is my only home
-Mm, mm, mm, mmm
(Musical interlude, no specific lyrical content)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-The time it came for me to go
The time arrived for me to return to earth where flowers bloom
Back down to earth where flowers grow
I trusted that love would eventually manifest
I trusted love would surely show
Believing that spring follows the snow
That spring it comes after the snow
But he was gone, gone, gone when I came
Yet, he was still absent upon my return, expressing ongoing absence
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-I lived my life the best I could
I lived my life to the best of my ability
I prayed he'd come, I thought he would
I prayed for his return, holding onto hope
But when my hair turned white as snow
As my hair turned white like snow, I departed the earth
I left the earth where flowers grow
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Expressing loneliness but also strength in solitude
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-Once again I came back down
Returning to earth once more, now resilient and alone
Still alone but stronger now
I fell in love with a sweet song
Falling in love with a sweet song to endure the winter
To sing until the winter's gone
Cuz he was gone, gone, gone when I came
Reiteration of the absence of the soldier upon return
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-And here I'm singing all alone
Singing alone, affected by the cold of winter
Chilled by the winter sweet and cold
And if he ever comes to me
If he ever comes to me, I'll share the beauty I've witnessed
I'll share the beauty that I've seen
Cuz love, love, love it isn't gone
A hopeful assertion that love endures despite challenges
Cuz love, love, love it isn't gone
-Cuz love, love, love it isn't gone
