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 my companion   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      A 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
