Mercury falling
I rise from my bed.
Collect my thoughts together
I have to hold my head
It seems that she's gone
and somehow I am pinned by
the hounds of winter
howling in the wind

I walk through the day
my coat around my ears
I look for [bad word] I have to dry my tears
it seems that she's gone
leaving me too soon
I'm as dark as december
I'm as cold as the man in the moon

I still see her face
as beautiful as day
it's easy to remember
remember my love that way
all I hear is that lonesome sound
the hounds of winter
they follow me down

I can't make up the fire
the way that she could
I spend all my days
in the search for dry wood
board all the windows and close
the front door
I can't believe she won't here anymore

I still see her face
as beautiful as day
it's easy to remember
remember my love that way
all I hear is that lonesome sound
the hounds of winter
they follow me down

season for joy
a season for sorrow
where she's gone
I will surely, surely follow
she brightened my day
she warmed the coldest night
the hounds of winter
they got me in their sights

I still see her face
as beautiful as day
it's easy to remember
remember my love that way
all I hear is that lonesome sound
the hounds of winter
they harry me down
