Heather will Dfade, aye bracken will Gdie
Streams will run Dcold and Cclear
Aye, the Gsmall birds will be goDing
For it's then that you'll be GknowDing

The woods give no Dshelter, and the trees, they are Gbare
Snows lying Dall aCround
Oh, the Gyoung children are cryDing
For the bed on which they're GlyDing
Is frozen Cto the Gground

And when you need the Dwarmth of your own human Gkind
You move near a Dtown and Cthen
Oh, the Gsight of you is offendDing
The police they soon are GsendDing
And you're on the Croad aGgain

Heather will Dfade, aye bracken will Gdie
The streams will run Dcold and Cclear
Aye, the Gsmall birds will be goDing
For it's then that you'll be GknowDing
That the terror Ctime is Ghere
