lyrics

This is one for the shuttered home;
This is one for the drifting snow.
Braid your hair up, darling, I'll see you in the spring;
I'll murmur my way home on a starling's wing.

Out of the city, I'm coming home;
I'll meet you where the west wind blows.
With backbone up, I'm coming home;
I'll lay you down where the willow tree grows.

This is one for the July fire;
This is one for the celebration pyre.
Autumn always comes like the springtime flood;
And I'll sleep with you in a little room awash in love.

Out of the city, I'm coming home;
I'll meet you where the north star glows.
With backbone up, I'm coming home;
I'll lay you down where the willow tree grows.
