Winter's Cry Lyrics - James Reid

1 The sound of twilight called my name so

2 As I cut wood from the hedgerow

3 The cry of a winter's night

4 Gave me shivers my hook was held tight

5 And every time I cut the willow

6 My blood it stains the bark

7 Did I not ask of you right

8 Or was my cut not enough sharp

9 Her call was that of folk feared legend

10 (left my baby lying there I'll never find my baby'o)

11 A banshee woman insane in the dusk

12 (found the wee red foxes tracks but never found my baby'o)

13 The musk of the hunt of night

14 The nightly hunt a must

15 And I watched her work her sly trap

16 As I walked on down the bridal path

17 She gave me a look of backwards fashion

18 Which broke my back like under twenty lashings

19 Like under twenty lashings
