Cold Is the Night
Cold is the night and dark and long
though with the gloom bleak humour comes
we'll make it through, our love is strong
North wind howls under midnight's gong
and buries all neath ice and snow
cold is the night and dark and long
Silence deep as snowflakes throng
unbidden doubt ousts fragile sleep
we'll make it through, our love is strong
On melting snow, black springtails sprong
in tribute to sun's slow return
though night is cold and dark and long
From cedar green, red cardinal's song
foretells of warmer days to come
we'll make it through, our love is strong
With sun's return spring comes along
snow melts, rain falls and life glows green
the days are warm, the sun is strong
we made it through, our love is long
