Autumn, the time of darkness and decay   Life's running shorter day by day   Winter has gripped the land in cold caress   He's all alone and deeply depressed, she's dead      Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe and warm   Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna do you harm      Midnight and on the graveyard a storm is rage   The clods of earth hide his whole life   Homeless, who's lonely now will be for long   The wind will drift him on and on like the leaves      Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe and warm   Don't you fear the winter, come with me, there'll be no harm      A silent might that has moved you   Hear your waters stand still   Striding down to the elder   Soon you'll meet her again      Autumn, who's got the time knows nothing yet   Who cares, but watchful are the dead   Midnight, it's hard to face and deeply sad   But you're asleep so don't look back, you're dead      Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe and warm   Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna do you harm      Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe and warm   Don't you fear the winter, come with me, there'll be no harm
