Lyrics

The Sleety Winds

V1
The sleety winds blow
Through the sedge near the lake
I’m trembling with every
Slow step that I take

V2
The wet blades of grass
Cling like guilt to my feet
And my woollen shawl’s hiding
The secret I keep

Bridge 
The cry of an owl 
in a moon-haunted tree
Will be a last prayer to accompany me
No one will know it was here that I stood
And for miles around
There was no other sound
But the whisper of leaves in the wood

V3
I’m tired and cold
And I long for his voice
Though I curse that false lover
Who left me no choice

V4
The sleety winds blow
Through the shadow-filled night
And the water has taken
Me far from the light

…Taken me far from the light
