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 the winter   Howling in the wind      I walk through the days cold around my ears   I’ve looked for my companion   I have to dry my tears   It seems that she’s gone, leaving me too soon   And I’m as dark as December   I’m 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    Of the hounds of the winter to carry me down, down      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 still can’t believe she won’t be 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    Of the hounds of the winter to carry me down, down      A season for joy, a season for sorrow   And where she’s gone I will surely, surely follow   She’s brightened my days and warmed the coldest nights   The hounds of the winter have 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    Of the hounds of the winter to carry me down      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    Of the hounds of the winter to carry me down, down
