lyrics

My little bird
Fallen in the snow
Why did you arrive so early
No feathers keep you from the cold
Even so, my love, you sing
Why must the harsh wind blow
Only the winter knows

So I pick you up
I bring you in to rest
Nature can't have all her ways
It's meddling at best
But if you're already lost
Why deny the dead a nest
Only the winter knows

You shiver near me
Fragile and violent
In the curve of my neck, my love, you sing
If you must die
May you die loved
May we die loved
Only the winter
Only the winter
Only the winter knows
