Push for PORTER

Ice chilled the wind, bare are the trees
Wrap your loving arms around me
Time to dig deep, cast away fears
Warm our hearts now wipe away tears
Grey is the sky, grey is the sleet
Blowing our way down this old Dublin street
Chilling that wind that zips at our feet
Close in together and feel our hearts beat

Cold King Winter now has come
Weaving his blanket to block out the sun
Milky Way hangs over so bright
As we shiver and try to warm up our night

How dark are the days and dark are the nights
Embrace the fire that's blazing so bright
Candlelight strong, bonfires and song
Full snow moon wash over me
Blankets and clothes, boots and warm toes
Hats and duvets, gloves and fleece
Soon it will come, King Winter will pass
His time over, hear his final gasp

Cold King Winter now is here
Cold King Winter's breath chills us near
Let us try to light all in our sphere
Now that cold King Winter is here

King Winter is fading, no longer strong
To depart shortly with his winter song
Out with the cold, hear the bells ring
King Winter's soon dead
Now dance with the Queen of Spring
