How could I forget when I’m still living there

Some leave

Some leave when the rivers freeze

Some go

Some go when the summer ends

Sometimes

Sometimes they don't come back again

Some of us

Some of us prefer that fair northern wind
[Verse 2]

He remembers the ice and the snow

Sings of me now that we’ve grown old

Could not tempt me from the land where water runs
[Chorus]

Many nights many nights yet to pass

Til the columbine blooms again

In the darkness of my days

It takes your breath away
