Dick Gaughan The Snows They Melt The Soonest
The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to
sing
The corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are settlin
in
And when the young man tells me that my face he'll soon
forget
Before we part I'll wage a crown, he's fain to follow
yet
And the snows they melt the soonest when the winds
begin to sing
The swallows fly without a thought as long as it is
spring
But when spring blows and winter goes my love then
you'll be free
For all your pride to follow me across the ragin main
The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to
sing
And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter can
not sting
I've seen the young man's anger melt between the night
and the morn
So it's surely not a harder thing to melt a young man's
scorn
So don't you bid me farewell here, no farewell I
receive,
For you will lie with me my love and kiss then take
your leave
And I'll wait here 'til the moorcock calls and the
Martin takes the wind
For the snows they melt the soonest when the wind
begins to sing.
