lyrics

Come closer to the window frame
Window to the dark and the field of snow
I saw you running like a summer flame
Running through the grass, turning gold to black

Oh! turn the dirt over
If you wanna grow back
Oh! open up the shutters
See the moonlight on the snow

You left your brother in a northern town
Took the ferry over the water on the bay
His body covered by the colors going down
The statue in the square before the wind could change

Oh! turn the water over
If you wanna flow down
Oh! open up the shutters
See the fallen snow

Oh! turn the water over
If you wanna flow down
Oh! open up the shutters
See the fallen snow

Come softly to the window frame
Window through the dark and the field of snow
I saw you running like a summer flame
Running through the grass, turning gold to black

Oh! turn the dirt over
If you wanna grow back
Oh! open up the shutters
See the moonlight on the snow

If you wanna grow back again

I saw you running like a summer flame
Running through the grass, turning gold to black
Turn the dirt over, turn the dirt over
