Winter comes upon us
Wi’ a cauld ‘n’ lonely win`.
Like rain it brings th’ lilac
shadows o’ evening light,
Th’ lowly mist spreads
empty chills across
Th’ clear an’ purple night.
Winter comes upon us
Wi’ th’ howling o’ th’ win`
Winter comes upon us
wi’ th’ howling o’ th’ win`.
Like th’ dry leaves
Tha’ rattle in th’ trees,
An’ th’ fallen leaves
Tha’ scrape along th’ lanes.
Winter comes upon us
Wi’ th’ carriage o’ th’ win’
Winter comes upon us
Wi’ th’ carriage o’ th’ win’.
It leaves us empty o’ th’
Songs o’ swallows chirping
In th’ eaves,
An’ brings us snuggling tae th’
Red coals crackling.
Winter dances on a dark an’ lonely road.
Winter dances on a
Dark an’ lonely road.
Bird nests dangle in a
Broken spider’s web
I hear them humming
In th’ solace o’ thair work.
Winter dances on a dark an’ lonely road.
Winter dances on a dark
An’ lonely corner, she
Sparkles, lyte beams
Tha’ lan’ upon th’ street,
Spreads whyte vapours
Frae each an’ every breath.
Winter rains upon a dark an’ lonely road.
Winter rains upon a dark
An’ lonely road, she
Washes clean th’ dust
Upon me leathery skin, an’
Brings th’ dark an’ yearnings
fur th’ comin’ o’ th’ day.
Winter comes wi’ a cold an’ lonely win’
Winter comes upon us wi’ a cauld ‘n’ lonely win’.
Like rain we dance upon th’ lilac shadows an’ evenin’ light,
Th’ lowly mist spreads empty chills across th’ clear an’ purple night
Winter comes upon us wi’ th’ howling o’ th’ win`.
Winter comes upon us wi’ a cauld ‘n’ lonely win’.
It brings wi’ a stab the lilac shadows night.
The lowly mist spreads empty chills o’er th’ clear an’ purple night.
Winter comes upon us wi’ th’ howling o’ th’ win`.
Winter comes upon us wi’ th’ howling o’ th’ win’,
An’ scrape o’r cobblestone lanes
Winter comes upon us wi’ th’ carriage o’ th’ win’.
Winter comes upon us wi’ th’ carriage o’ th’ win`.
Winter comes upon us wi’ th’ carriage o’ th’ win’.
It leaves us empty of th’ swallows chirping in th’ eaves
An’ brings us snuggling tae th’ red coals crackling,
Winter dances on a dark an’ lonely road.
Winter dances on a dark an’ lonely road.
Bird nests dangle in a broken spider web.
I hear them humming in th’ solace o’ thair work.
Winter dances on a dark an’ lonely road.
Winter dances on a dark an’ lonely road,
Sparkles, light beams, tha’ lan’ upon th’ street,
Spread white vapours frae each an’ every breath.
Winter rains upon a dark an’ lonely road.
Winter rains upon a dark an’ lonely road,
Washes clean th’ dust upon me leathery skin,
Brings th’ dark an’ yearnings fur th’ coming o’ th’ day.
Winter comes wi’ a cold an’ lonely win’.
