Winter's Coming Down
Winter's Embrace: A Tale of Love Lost in the Icy Whispers
Lyrics
Heard the birds, they were humming, winter's coming down
Observation of birds signaling the arrival of winter
Shattered silence hit the town, winter's coming down
A sudden disturbance or change affecting the town as winter approaches
On the pond ice hardened, winter's coming down
Describing the freezing of a pond due to dropping temperatures
Two lovers sadly parted, winter's coming down
Illustrating the sadness of two lovers separating in the face of impending winter
Mary came with hope in her hands
Mary arrives with optimism or expectations
but he refused to start the dance
Her partner refuses to engage or participate in something (possibly a relationship)
He said Mary times'a'hard it is snowing in my yard
Expressing difficulties faced by the partner, citing snow and tough times
Winds'a'blowin' crows'a' showin'
Descriptions of harsh weather conditions - wind blowing and crows present
Winter's coming down, winter's coming down
Reiteration of the arrival of winter and its impact
On her lips, shattered words and smoke
Repetition emphasizing the state of distress or turmoil in Mary's words and emotions
On her lips, shattered words and smoke
-On her lips, shattered words and smoke
-There's a light in a chapel where people gather around
Depiction of a gathering at a chapel with varied social backgrounds
Some are poor some wealthy, they were looking to be found
Highlighting the diversity among the people seeking something meaningful
On the side sat Mary listened the bells chime
Mary's presence at the chapel, listening to the bells ring
Crows came to sit beside her, together they found a rhyme
Symbolic unity or companionship with crows, finding a connection
On her lips taste of bitter her hands bitten by frost
Description of physical discomfort due to the bitter cold
I am cursing the heartless winter she took the love of mine
Expressing resentment towards winter for taking away Mary's love
I am cursing the heartless winter she took the love of mine
Repetition emphasizing Mary's anguish and blame towards winter for the loss of her love
I am cursing the heartless winter she took the love of mine
-I am cursing the heartless winter she took the love of mine
