Winter Songtext
von Manning

I was born in a midnight storm
The wind howled around me, thunder in the crashing rain
And in the deep dark hole in which I live
I′m holding my breath, feel my breath drawing in

So here I stand, my back proud to the sky
So here I stand facing into the night
No product of Man am I,
Borne on the wind, born of the wind and night shade

Come dark clouds, come Winters half light
Come the ice that freeze men to the bone
A figure of fright, dancing on the edge of daylight
I call to the north and I scatter the leaves, scatter the leaves


Dark, dark is the night
And out in the harbour, the boats are swaying lightly
The shadow comes, licking his icy thumbs
A finger on the ground and patterns all around me

And If we live to see the day again
And play again in the new snow falling
The frightful dreams of last night melt away and all is quiet
Waiting for the warming Sun to rise

I was born in a midnight storm
The wind howled around me, thunder in the crashing rain
And in the deep dark hole in which I now live
I'm holding my breath, feel my breath drawing in

So here I stand, my back proud to the sky
So here I stand facing into the night
No product of Man am I,
Borne on the wind, born of the wind and night shade
