Manning - Winter lyrics

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
