A Woman in Winter

The sailor shot the dice straight through

As woman cried with birth

And doctors ran from town to town

Resolving every myth

The ones who stayed afire in ice

Cried in winds of change

But winter it just fell some more

And nothing felt so strange

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

The camps and fires lay empty there

Children had flown home

The ones who crossed still were there

As wind re-read each moan

The birthday boys cried out for sun

But no sons reappeared

But winter it just fell some more

Just as they had feared

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I saw this lonely boy

In this other world

With a marble girl

In another face

In another world

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Somewhere said she waits for me

It ran out from my mind

So I sat and watched the winter fall

Pretending to be blind

I watched you darken Kipling's lights

You saw me by his thrown

But winter it just fell some more

And I was still alone

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I saw this lonely boy. In this other world

With a marble girl. In another face. In another world.

I saw this lonely boy. With a marble girl.

In another face. In another world.

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
