|
I fly sometimes |
|
Through the frozen trees |
|
In the winter woods |
|
In their robes of white |
|
Chanting silently |
|
In the winter woods |
|
Like a forest abbey choir |
|
Whispering hymns of snow and ice |
|
In Excelsis to the cold |
|
And Hosanna to the sky |
|
Hosanna |
|
And holy trees |
|
They know when I m |
|
In the winter woods |
|
And they bid me to sing |
|
And I comply |
|
In the winter woods |
|
But I stumble in my turn |
|
Because I cannot find the words |
|
In that church of birch and pine |
|
The only word that comes to mind |
|
Is beautiful |
|
Like a forest abbey choir |
|
Whispering hymns of snow and ice |
|
In Excelsis to the cold |
|
And Hosanna to the sky |
|
Hosanna |
|
So quietly |
|
I sing beautiful in the winter woods |
|
And the trees agree |
|
They all agree |
|
In the winter woods |
|
We all agree |
|
In the winter woods |
|
Amen. |
|
Amen. |
