I was born in a midnight storm
The wind howled around me, thunder in the crashing rain
And in the deep dark hole in which I live
I'm holding my breath, feel my breath drawing in
So here I stand, my back proud to the sky
So here I stand facing into the night
No product of Man am I, borne on the wind, born of the wind and night shade
Come dark clouds, come Winters half light
Come the ice that freeze men to the bone
A figure of fright, dancing on the edge of daylight
I call to the north and I scatter the leaves, scatter the leaves
Dark, dark is the night
And out in the harbour, the boats are swaying lightly
The shadow comes, licking his icy thumbs
A finger on the ground and patterns all around me
And If we live to see the day again and play again in the new snow falling
The frightful dreams of last night melt away and all is quiet
Waiting for the warming Sun to rise
I was born in a midnight storm
The wind howled around me, thunder in the crashing rain
And in the deep dark hole in which I now live
I'm holding my breath, feel my breath drawing in
So here I stand, my back proud to the sky
So here I stand facing into the night
No product of Man am I, borne on the wind, born of the wind and night shade
