Lyrics
BLOW YE WIND
A winter through windows of ice and frost
A breath in the wind and the moment is lost
Staring at sights that will not be again
As the snow all around flees from the wind
CHORUS:
Blow ye wind through field and farm
Blow ye wind you've done me no harm
Blow ye wind I am safe and warm
For you've blown me into my true love's arms
The night is half white and the snow is aglow
I've learned a secret I never did know
Daylight comes slowly when time moves too slow
But the magic of Heaven is down here below
REPEAT CHORUS
There is a candle's flicker on her grandma's spread
There are soft warm arms for this weary head
There's the certainty of what lies ahead
Between the sheets of my lover's bed
REPEAT CHORUS
