Autumn - the time of darkness and decay Life's running shorter day by day Winter -has gripped the land in cold caress He's all alone and deeply depressed, she's dead Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe And warm Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna Do you harm Midnight - and on the graveyard a storm is raging The clods of earth hide his whole life Homeless - who's lonely now will be for long The wind will drift him on and on, like the leaves Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe And warm Don't you fear the winter, come with me There'll be no harm A silent might that has moved you Hear your waters stand still Striding down to the elder Soon you'll meet her again Autumn - who's got the time knows nothing yet Who cares? But watchful are the dead Midnight - It's hard to face and deeply sad But you're asleep so don't look back, you're dead Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe And warm Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna Do you harm Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe And warm Don't you fear the winter, come with me There'll be no harm
