When the cold winds blow
We'll watch the geese together
To see which way they go
And I won't have to tell you
Then I'm sure you'll know
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow
I'll be here beside you
When the grass is gone
I'll be here when water
Is stilled upon the stone
There'll be songs and stories
We'll tell and then you'll know
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow
Ashes in the snow
Ashes in the snow
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow
INTERLUDE: E
When flowers are fast asleep
When perfumes of the meadow (when perfumes of the meadow)
No longer haunt the sheep
My kiss will surely tell you
I still love you so
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow
Ashes in the snow
Ashes in the snow
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow
See the ashes in the snow
Hear the cold winds blow
Ashes in the - snow
