Winter Lady

Trav'ling lady, stay a while

Until the night is over

I'm just a station on your way

I know I'm not your lover

Well I lived with a child of snow

When I was a soldier

And I fought every man for her

Until the nights grew colder

She used to wear her hair like you

Except when she was sleeping

And then she'd weave it on a loom

Of smoke and gold and breathing

And why are you so quiet now

Standing there in the doorway?

You chose your journey long before

You came upon this highway

Traveling lady, stay a while

'Til the night is over

I'm just a station on your way

I know I'm not your lover
