TORI AMOS LYRICS - Winter's Carol

"Winter's Carol"



A winter's carol

First song of the robin

A winter's carol

I go through the land

And I can hear it

Ringing out

Ringing out

From pine to oak

Bringing out with the December snow

Ringing out

A gift of old

Wrapped in ribbons of gold

For the whole world

For the whole world

The summer queen

has been in darkness

The summer queen

has been in darkness

the summer queen

surrenders to this

To him she reveals

the secrets

To him she reveals

the Wine Ham secrets

for a time

rejoice

Fire and frosted marriage

Through a midwinter clearing

a forest greets the snowy evening

Year after year, the holly king

passes the torch as it was intended

through a midwinter clearing

a final kiss and a new beginning

kiss on queen wearing his wreath

soon with the sun she will reascend

through a midwinter clearing

the forest greets a snowy evening

with wands of yew, the holly king

passes the torch as it was intended

passes the torch as it was intended

A winter's carol

the song of the robin

the sun is reborn

from the starry heavens

A winter's carol

echoes the sound of wonder

and I can hear it

ringing out

Ringing out,

From pine to oak

Bringing out, with the December snow

Ringing out

A gift of old

Wrapped in ribbons of gold

For the whole world

For the whole world

For the whole world

Ringing out,

winter's carol

Ringing out,

winter's carol

Ringing out,

winter's
