When I arrived, my journey took me through the trees

I came upon a land of snow

Mountains of ice and souls being warmed by fireside

 It was here I made a home

As days warm, from their homes I heard the songs

We shared laughs and hopes and beer

Long blurry nights, laughing til the morning rise

In those days, the world was fair

How I wish that I could sleep and dream forever. In this realm, eternally my home

But my heart belongs somewhere far across the sea. When I die I shall return

When summer came, the hills became a brilliant green.

And the sun above did shine

I felt the warmth, something never seen before.

Locked away for all time

Oh, how I wish that I could sleep and dream forever. In this realm, eternally my home.

But my heart belongs somewhere far across the sea. When I die I shall return.

The years go on and we grow old. Yet my strength remains.

Another day, another path. I start to notice my friend grows grey.

He's walking slowly, a few steps behind. He's been this way for days.

He cannot eat, he only sleeps. This is where his legs gave way.

I held his head heavy in my hands. From his mouth escaped a sigh.

Many years and journeys more and now he says goodbye.

I plead with him: "Please don't go." I see his spirit rise.

Into the fog he wandered forth and disappeared before my eyes.

Here where no one wanders

Where no lights can be seen

A winter realm of ice and snow

Forever here I’ll dream

And when the time does come

My broken body dies

My bones shall rest, forevermore

Upon the mountainside.
