An early, foggy morning last November
As I watched the branches swing and sway
My feet the only sound
In that silent forest
As I wondered where you walked that day
(Chorus)
When my time to die has come and gone, love
All that's left behind will be my bones
What will happen to the love I hold for you, dear
When I'm laid beneath the dirt and stones?
By March the snow had long been deep, love
And I shivered in my little shack
As I sat and wrote to you a letter
Knowing that you'd never write me back
(Chorus)
Well spring, it surely has arrived now
The river's flowing and the flower's growing near
And though I try to accept that you won't come back
My little heart still beats for you out here
(Chorus)
