Darkest Winter
Run Rig
On a long dark loch, on a useless moor
Before the wintertide
We watched the circle 'round the moon
And the storm clouds gathered 'round
So I turned to you, but you were gone
So I turned for home alone
Over last year's rotting corn I walked
Where the harvest winds have blown.
Chorus:
The blinding lights have turned away
Shadows from your door
And my warm heart is young today
This darkest winter gone
When the darkness winds on an eerie wind
In an hour before the dawn
We scanned this wasted land a light
Passing void and without form
So I turned to you, and you were gone
So I stood and watched alone
With a doubting bounce of first light formed
That shades across the soul
Chorus-
So I turned my collar to the wind.
And I asked myself in vain
Did I walk out here with you today?
Or did I come alone
And then I saw, a distant sight
A heart, behind the grey
Come shining through the darkest skies
Establishing my way.
