The Snows They Melt The Soonest

Song The Snows They Melt The Soonest
Artist Karan Casey

Lyrics

[00:10.80] The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
[00:24.09] And the corn it ripens fastest as the frosts are settling in
[00:38.66] And when a young man tells me that my face he'll soon forget
[00:50.16] Before we part I'll wage a bet he'll be fain to follow it yet
[01:09.48] The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
[01:21.91] And the swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring
[01:33.98] When springtime goes and winter blows, my lad, and you'll be fain
[01:45.40] With all your pride to follow me across the stormy main
[02:01.73] The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
[02:13.74] And the bee that flew in summertime in winter it will not sting
[02:24.49] I've seen a woman's anger melt between the night and morn
[02:34.54] It's surely not a harder thing to melt a woman's scorn
[02:50.35] So never bid me farewell for no farewell I'll receive
[03:00.58] You will lie with me, my love, and kiss and take your leave
[03:11.31] And I'll wait here till the woodcock calls and the marten takes it's wing
[03:21.86] For the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
[03:38.96]
