I can no longer hear you call 'cross the airwaves Fog on the line has shaken my will not to yield The one left here, my command all gone down I'm caught, caught, where the cold dark fingers trace Where the men who failed, they lie and kiss the dark earth's face I am lost, lost, by the storm clouds am tossed Now here comes the snow deep And I will take a sleep, sweet Margaret my dear tell me It was long and a strong and sweet year indeed to get lost in I've seen the survivors when they come home from the ice fields The lace and the ladies' flush and a pearl on the eye Fine bone china and the log fire spark high But I'm back in the wasteland low Where the ripe seed never gets blown What chance I'll see to sun on the lea, hear the cornfield moan I am lost, lost, by the storm clouds am tossed Now here comes the snow deep And I will take sleep, sweet Margaret my dear, tell me It was a long and a strong and a sweet year indeed to get lost in
