Pentangle - The Snows lyrics

The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing And the corn it ripens faster when the frosts are settlin' in And when a woman tells me that my face she'll soon forget Before we part I'll wage a corn she's fain to follow it yet For the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing And the swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring But when spring goes and winter blows my love she will be fain For all her pride to follow me across the stormy main The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter cannot sting And I've seen a woman's anger melt between the nicht and morn So it's surely not a harder thing to melt a woman's scorn So dont' you bid me farewell now no farewell I'll receive But you must lie with me my la** then kiss and take your leave And I'll wait here till the woodco*k calls and the martin takes the wing For the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
