The White Snows of Winter

[Verse 1]
The white snows of winter fall into the quiet town
The town lies a-sleepin'. a-sleeping beneath the down
It soon will be Christmas; bells will be ringing; bring us another round
But here in the white of a cold winter night, my love cannot be found

[Verse 2]
'Twas only October; we danced the fire out
I called as I left her, "Away from here I'm bound"
I've been to the sea and back to the land and many's the hill I've crowned
And here in the white of a cold winter night, my love cannot be found

[Verse 3]
And now in the winter I've come to find her here
My love lies a-sleepin'; I know that she is near
It soon will be Christmas; bells will be ringin'; blessings are all around
For here in the white of a warm winter's night, my love at last I've found
