All Winter Long Lyrics

When at last my journey 's begun
Chrisopher, keep me safe on the run
When I leave the land I love best
Soon the bird will be flown from the nest

Gather, my brothers, the fire is light'd
Keep warm your heart through the long winter's night
Safe by the heartside your children will play
Long is the darkness before break of day

All winter long while the earth turns around
We'll stay on
Sleep well, my love, when the springtime returns
We'll be gone, we'll be gone

(Interlude)

All winter long while the earth turns around
We'll stay on
Sleep well, my love, when the springtime returns
We'll be gone, we'll be gone

Now at last my journey 's begun
Christopher, keep us safe on the run
Now I'll leave the land I loved best
And soon the bird will be flown from the nest

(Fade out)
