Snow Falls from Heartwood EP by Heartwood Chorus

Cruel winter cuts through like the reaper,
The old year lies withered and slain.
Like Barleycorn, who rose from the grave,
The new year will rise up again.

There will come a time of great plenty,
A time of good harvest and song.
‘Til then put your trust in tomorrow, my friend,
For yesterday's over and done.

And the snow falls
The wind calls
The year turns round again
‘Til then put your trust in tomorrow, my friend,
For yesterday's over and done.

Then I’ll garland a bonnet of daisies,
I’ll crown you the queen of the May
All shall behold
The seasons unfold
As surely as night follows day

And the snow falls
And the wind calls
And the year turns round again
And all shall behold
The seasons unfold
As surely as night follows day

And I'll wager a hatful of guineas
Against all the songs you can sing
Some day you'll love
The next day you'll lose,
And winter will turn into spring.

And the snow falls
And the wind calls
And the year turns round again
Some day you'll love
The next day you'll lose,
And winter will turn into spring.

And the snow falls
And the wind calls
And the year turns round again
Like Barleycorn,
Who rose from the grave,
The new year will rise up again.
