[Intro]
the winter star above the moor would not go out
it watched the heather darken under snow

[Verse 1]
I walked where no warm window called my name
where every thorn was silver with the same
old patient frost, old patient sky
and still your face would not say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
If love is fire under stone
let it burn unseen, alone

[Chorus]
Winter star, hold your light over me
when the road has forgotten the spring
there is a voice in the cold wild country
and it knows what the heart cannot sing

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
The moor was wide as an unanswered prayer
the wind moved slowly through my hair
I had no shelter, I had no art
only your absence warming my heart

[Bridge]
Low in the dark, clear in the snow
some hidden embers glow

[Final Chorus]
Winter star, hold your light over me
when the road has forgotten the spring
there is a voice in the cold wild country
and it knows what the heart cannot sing

[Outro]
the winter star above the moor would not go out
