summers gone as the winds of autumn rose
i'd lie if i'd say that this is what i chose
winter came keeps coming way too fast
but even now i dream of a spring long-passed

through ice and snow
i have to go
to pass this dark to get over this low
through ice and snow
we all have to go
to find the time the place for new life to grow

frozen water falls from the sky
and the beauty of those crystals i can't deny
longing for a place to rest a place to dry
thats the way an old year says goodbye

through ice and snow
i have to go
to pass this dark to get over this low
through ice and snow
we all have to go
to find the time the place for new life to grow

and so i walk or at least i try
on icy ground below a frozen sky
and so i walk to pass this by
for one day of spring i'd really like to die

through ice and snow
i have to go
to pass this dark to get over this low
through ice and snow
we all have to go
to find the time the place for new life to grow
