Caribou

Oh, winter, have you left me?
Oh, winter, have you left me?
In the ash black dirt beside this creek,
Next to the body of this Caribou,
I will lay this body down to sleep

Oh, winter, will you promise me?
Oh, winter, will you promise me?
Will you visit me in my next life?
Will you offer me some good advice?
I can see it in your pale skies

Oh, cold wind
Will I never see your darkest days again?
Will I never hear your silent nights again?
In your gloom I watch my life unfold
I see my courage in your quiet streams
And all the beauty in your deepest snows

Come again snow
Come again snow
