Once I knew all the things that I wanted in love
On this snow covered ground I was born
Some part of me knows what a young heart can give
And love would be warm where I live
And I walk these hidden roads
I love these snowflakes and this cold
And these homes with yellow windows
Shine their warmth into my soul
Gentle wind you are an angel
As if you were flesh and blood
But that chimney smoke's your lover
I have watched you making love
Not long ago, I held a woman so close
I wonder why I let her go
Oh what a year, I've learned to live with my fear
Will I ever hold love so near?
In the mornings I remember and I try hard not to cry
Weel she knows the love I send her
Will be warm until I die
And she walks this road inside me
With these snowflakes and this cold
May these homes with yellow windows
Shine their warmth into our souls
Shine their warmth into our souls
