Lyrics
The Wind’s Blowing Cold
The wind's blowing cold on a starless night
and the love in our hearts is the only light.
It flickers and fades like a tiny flame
casting shadows of doubt on the road where we came.
The river is rising, swirling to the sea
The river is singing, what will be will be
Eyes open wide, searching for a sign;
A key to unlock the grand design.
Here on the shore, the river blocks our way;
The darkness our blanket on the stones where we lay.
The river is rising, swirling to the sea
The river is singing, what will be will be
Instrumental Verse
The water is wide, so cold and so deep
Will it swallow us whole as we drift off to sleep
Our destiny waits on the other side
a tiger whose jaws are opening wide
whose eyes are aglow with a terrible light
roaming these plains on a starless night.
The river is rising, swirling to the sea
The river is singing, what will be will be
The wind's blowing cold on a starless night
and the love in our hearts is the only light.
