Emily Hall - Winter Flowers Lyrics

I packed my bags and I went north
Where winter's cold but runs its course
I met a soldier dressed in blue
He brought me flowers on his horse

Mm, mm, mm, mmm
Mm, mm, mm, mmm

And when he chose to ride away
I put the flowers on his grave
He said we'd meet in heaven's skies
He said my soul would be his bride

But he was gone, gone, gone when I came
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I waited there inside the light
Looking back upon my life
Afraid to go back down alone
For heaven is my only home

Mm, mm, mm, mmm
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The time it came for me to go
Back down to earth where flowers grow
I trusted love would surely show
That spring it comes after the snow

But he was gone, gone, gone when I came
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I lived my life the best I could
I prayed he'd come, I thought he would
But when my hair turned white as snow
I left the earth where flowers grow

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Once again I came back down
Still alone but stronger now
I fell in love with a sweet song
To sing until the winter's gone

Cuz he was gone, gone, gone when I came
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And here I'm singing all alone
Chilled by the winter sweet and cold
And if he ever comes to me
I'll share the beauty that I've seen

Cuz love, love, love it isn't gone
Cuz love, love, love it isn't gone
Cuz love, love, love it isn't gone
