North Road lyrics

I've seen the snow come and go Oh so many times before But the snow that now gathers I fear will lie forever Old man winter walks yet again Upon the North Road to the end I've set foot at last Upon this long North Road Every step is a prayer As I pay what is owed Old man winter walks yet again Upon the North Road to the end I talk to the mountains Of all my sorrows I tell them my regrets I sing them your name Old man winter walks yet again Upon the North Road to the end I know bones go brittle And that flesh always grows weak The years wield rough fists And it sure has a wicked streak How the sunny days lay lost Deep beneath the covers of snow Long forgotten sunshine Warms my heart as I go How the sunny days lay lost
