The Snows They Melt The Soonest

The Snows They Melt The Soonest - Cara Dillon

Written by：Traditional

The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing

And the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are settling in

And when the young man tells me that my face 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 swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring

But when spring goes and winter blows my love then you'll be free

For all your pride to follow me across the raging main

And the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing

And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter cannot sting

And I've seen a young man's anger melt between the night and 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 and take your leave

And I'll wait here till the moorcock calls and the martin takes the wind

For the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
