Ashes in the Snow

From the albums SEALS AND CROFTS (1969) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974)

I'll be here come winter 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'Il be here when water is stilled upon the stone
There'll be songs and stories, then I'm sure 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

I'll be here to hold you when flowers are fast asleep
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
