Lyrics
Pleasure falls in hoards
Of jagged water
Glistening in ice
Fallin' from skies
Of deep black night
Comes rigid white
Contorted sides
And turnin' walls
In crystal halls
Run sparkle's gleam
Through snow drift's seam
And sends a beam
Onto iced stream
Across frozen
Deep seas of storms
Silver with cold
Now freezing sweet dew
That rests on the land
Starched brown from winter's
Great gust of the season grasping its time
Of deep chilling clime
My love's skin is blue
She dies in hot pool
But came the night
Of freezing white
Reborn to frost
And there she'll cross
For gods of snow
To take her soul
Into night's skies
Of freezing white
Glidin' down from black welkin
Of humble bounds
Now taken above
My thin forest glove
White wrappings cover
Her deep silver limbs
And mists on the ice
That twists down green pines
My shelter nigh
What shall be thine
A placid shrine
Of icy bind
She roams through time
And crawls the twine
Of flaming swine
To reach cold night
And her eyes have failed
Her skin is old
Her days have grown
We aged alone
Through wintry bones
In lands of snow
Sit still unknown
In worlds below
And my wrinkles show
Against pale light
Reflecting off
The silver snow
Her smile gleams ice
Our bodies still
In winter's chill
Our clasp would never thrill
