[Chorus A /Part A] Here come the Ghosts of Winter Kicking snow into the land As barren fields they inter Under solemn white, tranquil Leave the highlands to their will Plains, once frantic, still The tardy time is close at hand [Chorus A / Part B] Now hush, my baby, hush For tomorrow it'll be but slush And sleep, my darlin', sleep Slumber fills the castle keep [Verse 1] Days slowed down, decelerated The stream with all its tributaries slowly starts to crack Tons of snow now disembarked Meadows marked And all the roads I've travelled on have led me back And they've carried all the ore Came in from the far off shore And nothing's here to fear for us so far We chase a brighter star [Chorus B / Part A] The grim Dogs of December Harry sheep clouds 'cross the sky With burning eyes of amber They might plough a trace of light Thru windmill fields of night Them bootleg horses ride And bucketsful of clouds flow by [Chorus A / Part B] Now hush, my baby, hush For tomorrow it'll be but slush And sleep, my darlin', sleep Slumber fills the castle keep [Verse 2] Sun is not forever exiled The world lies under stagnant bright, obstructive Fahrenheit Battalions of Bravehearts near Never fear But I can't go to sleep tonight without your smile Wind is howling all the while Down the Balaclava Aisle And nothing's here to fear for us, my dear The tender time is her [Chorus C / Part A] The tattered Ghosts of Winter Kicking snow into the land As barren fields they inter Under solemn white, tranquil Leave the highlands to their will Plains, once frantic, still The tardy time is close at hand [Bridge] We're receiving summer's epitaph Coming on the telegraph Your love is all that's left of me Never cry no snow shed tears Gonna wipe away the fears [Chorus A / Part B] Now hush, my baby, hush For tomorrow it'll be but slush And sleep, my darlin', sleep Slumber fills the castle keep [First Electric Guitar Solo] [Chorus B / Part B] Hush, mein Liebling, hush For tomorrow it'll be but slush And sleep, my darlin', sleep Inside the ancient castle keep [Second Electric Guitar Solo]
