about

Inspired by Red Letter Day, in Kate Mosse’s The Mistletoe Bride.

lyrics

A red coat to keep me warm
Cloaked from this freezing storm
And it’s been snowing for so long
The cold, it feels like home
My dark hair is growing long
Hanging limp, its life has gone
Past my shoulders it now lays
The past within its dark display
They say, time will take this sadness away
They say, this heavy weight
wont always be mine to bear
But from where I stand,
It’s time that has taken me there
And it’s the pull of my past
That’s holding me fast to the path ahead
And it’s the weight of time
That’s caught in my mind
And holding my stare
And as I step onto the ice covered stone
Under the snow filled sky
It’s time that is taking my hand
As I say good bye.
