Album: Nighttime Nightrhymes (1999)

Wintry Mantle


Your name I spoke many times
Alone in the darkness in the night
And prayed a thousand prayers
And my many dreams where of you
I walked the endless lonely miles
I stumbled path upon path
I watched time slip away
I watched and didn't care

But tonight I can't sleep
'cause I belong to you
Tonight I can't sleep
'cause at last I belong to you

I wrote our names in runes
Most magick and secret
In the forests wintry mantle
I carved them in a tree
And your name I spoke many times
Alone in the darkness in the night
And prayed a thousand prayers
And my many dreams where of you

But tonight I can't sleep
'cause you belong to me
Tonight I can't sleep
'cause at last you belong to me
