lyrics

Snowbound, and the heart’s away.
I have found a path to escape.
I survey (like a bird of prey)
my snowbound home when the heart’s away.

Moon-drunk on a windy sea,
I perceive all the stars around me
(that light the air in the sighing breeze).
I am moon-drunk on a windy sea.

When the dogs come for my bones,
when I’m dead and buried with the stones,
take me north where the winds of winter stay.
I am snowbound when the heart’s away.

Windswept on a dusty plain,
I was borne of sun and rain.
But you’d complain if I ever were to change.
I am windswept on the dusty plain.

Sun-soaked in a crowded sky,
was I born only to die?
And brother why can’t you meet my eye?
We are sun-soaked in the crowded sky.

And when the dogs come for my bones,
when I’m dead and buried with the stones,
take me north where the winds of winter stay.
I am snowbound when the heart’s away.

And when the dogs come for my bones,
when I’m dead and buried with the stones,
take me north where the winds of winter stay.

I am snowbound when the heart’s away.
I have found a path to escape.
I survey (like a bird of prey)
my snowbound home when the heart’s away.
