Maddy Prior - Winter: Red & Green lyrics

Red and green together be seen In the dark time of the year Red and green together be seen In the time of dread and fear Green for the thorn of the holly leaf That shines in candlelight That holds the hope of evergreen That glimmers in the night Red and green together be seen In the dark time of the year Red and green together be seen In the time of dread and fear Red for the berry round and full A drop of blood on snow That shows us our humanity That fruit from which we grow Red and green together be seen In the dark time of the year Red and green together be seen In the time of dread and fear These rocky fields of black and white Demanding endless toil The misty sun gives tired light To raise the sleeping soil Red and green together be seen In the dark time of the year Red and green together be seen In the time of dread and fear
