The Snows They Melt The Soonest Lyrics - Cara Dillon

The snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing 

And the corn it ripens fastest when the frost is setting in 

And when the young man tells me that my face he'll soon forget 

Before we part I bet a crown, he'd be fain to follow it yet 

And the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing 

And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is spring 

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

With all your pride and to follow me where it crossed the stormy sea 

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

And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter he won't sing 

And all the flowers in all the land so brightly they may be. 

And the snow it melts the soonest when my true love's for me. 

So whoever says to me farewell here, no farewell I receive, 

For you will leave me at your side, or you kiss and take your leave 

And I'll wait here 'til the moorcock calls and the Martin takes his leave 

For the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing.
