It's the darkest time of year  Crystal branches everywhere  As the colours drain away  You alone are far away  Leaves of frost upon the trees  Lovers falling on their knees  Curtains parting in the night  Let me in your sweet delight  Where the garden used to be  Now a different world I see  For one second all I know  Everything is made of snow  First from white and then to blue  Pink to purple lost to view  It's the darkest time of year  Winter love is almost here
