The northern wind
Bites at my naked hand 
The northern wind 
Races across the land
That bitter kiss
That takes you whole
And that leaves 
Small trails of bliss
Buried in snow
Curse the wind 
Adieu the northern wind

I've lived all kids of ups and downs
But I always fit the bill
Yes there's something 'bout that wintry sound
That fills my blood with chill

There's a feeling of foreboding
In its icty serenade
In its whistle there's a warning
Don't give in
Oh you'll lose
In the end

I lived a summer love affair
Emblamed with warm embrace
And the breeze that came in from the plains
Was a breath ofhope and grace

When she came in early winter
To my stark and frosty home
She was cut and she was splintered
By the cold
Now she's gone
Yes she's gone
She's gone

The northernwind
Sweeps in from every part
