Coldest Winter In Memory (2005 Digital Remaster) - Al Stewart |
| [00:04.87] |
The coldest winter in memory was 1709 |
| [00:12.30] |
The sea froze off the coast of |
| [00:15.06] |
France all along the Neptune line |
| [00:20.22] |
By the lost town of Dunwich the shore was washed away |
| [00:28.84] |
They say you hear the church bells still |
| [00:31.85] |
As they toll beneath the waves |
| [00:38.78] |
Come all you earthly princes |
| [00:42.30] |
Wheresoever you may be |
| [00:46.53] |
From the Sun King in the court of |
| [00:49.42] |
France to the Czar in Muscovy |
| [00:54.62] |
Take heed of Charles of Sweden |
| [00:58.70] |
The Lion North of the North |
| [01:02.97] |
On the cracked earth of summer |
| [01:06.53] |
With his army he goes forth |
| [01:14.13] |
Guardian angels wherever you may be |
| [01:21.66] |
Reach down and keep my soul for me |
| [01:32.84] |
I was there amongst that number |
| [01:37.48] |
I heard the trumpets strain |
| [01:41.64] |
I saw the host of banners |
| [01:44.69] |
Spread across the Polish plain |
| [01:49.21] |
Those who stood against us |
| [01:53.19] |
They soon were swept away |
| [01:57.20] |
They may have the numbers |
| [02:01.04] |
But it's Charles shall have the day |
| [02:07.87] |
We cut our way through forests |
| [02:11.60] |
Crossed on frozen streams |
| [02:16.05] |
They fell away before us like a murmur in a dream |
| [02:23.43] |
And they burned the land around us |
| [02:27.38] |
As snow was closing in |
| [02:31.49] |
And the arms of winter took us |
| [02:35.17] |
As we fired against the wind |
| [02:40.91] |
Guardian angels wherever you may be |
| [02:48.46] |
Reach down and keep my soul for me |
| [03:26.67] |
Through all the courts of Europe |
| [03:29.94] |
There's a rumor from the East |
| [03:34.82] |
The kings have come to battle |
| [03:37.98] |
And it's Charles who's known defeat |
| [03:42.23] |
They'll shake their heads |
| [03:43.88] |
And wonder at how this came to be |
| [03:50.29] |
But it's nights without a shelter |
| [03:54.31] |
That have made an end for me |
| [04:00.49] |
Now Charles is fled to Turkey |
| [04:04.46] |
Left his men afar |
| [04:08.27] |
And they'll be marched through Moscow now |
| [04:12.46] |
As prisoners of the Czar |
| [04:16.33] |
And had I but known last summer |
| [04:20.62] |
What I know understand |
| [04:24.51] |
I'd have never set my foot inside |
| [04:28.48] |
This bleak and bitter land |
| [04:34.13] |
Guardian angels wherever you may be |
| [04:41.62] |
Reach down and keep my soul for me |
| [04:49.64] |
