Turn the Dirt Over

Come closer to the window-frame

Window to the dark and the field of snow

I saw you running like summer-flame

Running through the grass

Turning gold to black

Oh, turn the dirt over

If you want to grow back

Oh! open up the shutters

See the moonlight on

The snow

On the snow

You left your brother in a northern town

Took the ferry o'er the water on the bay

His body covered by the colors going down

A statue in the square before the wind could change

Oh, turn the water over

If you want to flow down

Oh! open up the shutters

See the falling snow

The falling snow

Come softly to the window frame

Window through the dark and the fields of snow

I saw you running like a summer-flame

Running through the grass

Turning gold to black

Oh, turn the dirt over

If you want to grow back

Oh, open up the shutters

See the moonlight on

The snow

See the moonlight on

The snow

On the snow
