Deep Winter Lyrics

Emeralds and rubies sparkle in December light

In a ring of family no one asks their price

But by nature though this means they can be few and far between

One moment full of warmth

The next stunted by a chill

'Cause know one sings about leaving home after the holidays

Going back to starving when you just had your fill

'Cause holiday spirit doesn't roll over to the new year

And longer nights mean the season's getting deeper

These are the hallmarks of deep winter

Take care to not tarry long here

The water is tempting but it freezes from the inside out

And beds of snow will turn to sludge before you touch the ground

O come Emmanuel, are you still here in January?

Or does hope get frostbitten as well?

Why is there always too little love by February?

What I wouldn't give to be rid of this chill

But I've been here before

Had just as many summers as winters

I know this too shall pass

But the shadows seem deeper

These are the hallmarks of deep winter

Take care to not tarry long here

The water is tempting but it freezes from the inside out

And beds of snow will turn to sludge before you touch the ground

Give me that silent night

Holy night

All is calm

All is bright

Spring is coming, I know this

But until then I'll be walking through the valley of the shadow of death

With the Lord on my, on my side

On my side

Give me that silent night

In the midst of my life

The deep winter cannot hide your light
