Cold Mountain Ice

Cold Mountain's calling
Winter days die young
Cold rain is falling
Black cloak has been flung

Carve my face
upon Cold Mountain's ice. 
Chisel a trace 
of a smile around my eyes. 
Cut hard lines
deeply soft beside my mouth. 
Send my heart
on a slow boat headed south.

Cold Mountain beckons
I'll be there too soon
Cold river reckons
Cold rain hides the moon
