Your Song

The cold north winds

blown by the breath

of all the lost

of all in death,

Noreen can’t you hear me,

you’ve been gone so long,

Noreen can’t you hear me,

I’m singing your favorite song.

As snow blows past the rushes,

And whitens sunless days,

Here I am beside you

Singing at your grave,

Noreen can’t you hear me,

You’ve been gone so long.

Noreen can’t you hear me

I’m singing your favorite song.

Of all the loves in all the places

There could ever be,

Yours is found for evermore

Resting here with me.

Noreen can’t you hear me,

You’ve been gone so long,

Noreen can’t you hear me,

Can’t you hear your song?
