[Verse 1]
Trail amidst the snow-clad trees
Winding is the way
Sunless is the path we roam
Bitter is the air we breathe

Fell is the icy blast
Coming from the hills
Blowing through my ailing heart
Wailing in the emptiness inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Vanished is the light we had
Hidden deep in rimy soil
Bereft of us the one we cherished
Lost forever our love

[Chorus]
Still at night I see her figure
Flickering on moonlit glades
But passing is the hope she's giving
Just a faintest breath of air and she's gone again

[Verse 2]
The clouds are moving heavily
Across the livid sky
Yonder the hues are darkening
Slowly turning grey to black
For the two who stray in dusk
All hope is long since gone
Cruel is the winter's reign
Merciless the grasp of despair

[Bridge]
For what mirth there is left in life
For a motherless son
What solace in this world
For a widower to find

[Pre-Chorus]
Vanished is the light we had
Hidden deep in rimy soil
Bereft of us the one we cherished
Lost forever our love

[Chorus]
Still at night I see her figure
Flickering on moonlit glades
But passing is the hope she's giving
Just a faintest breath of air and she's gone again

[Post-Chorus]
For what mirth there is left in life
For a motherless son
What solace in this world
For a widower to find
[Outro]
Slender the shape in night
Unbearable the beauty
Shining in the silvery light
Watching me with wistful eyes

Evanescent this vision
Unattainable this illusion
But an image in my troubled dreams
Hewn out of yearning and rue
