Winter Boy - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Winter boy, born on a snowy day

Came to me on a rainy afternoon

And there’d been summer love

Love I trusted far too well, got away and winter’s spell

Had broke my heart and left me all alone

And looking for a home to rest my weary heart

For just a while

Then I found it in the smile of a boy

A little boy with midnight in his hair

And promise in his eyes of days and nights still yet to be

Days and nights he’d cling to me

For I am winter’s lady and he is winter’s child

Though there be summers yet

And the smell of pine comes crying to my heart

Still my joy and my security will lie beside the boy of less impurity

The little boy with midnight in his hair

And diamonds in his eyes

Diamonds made of trust and love for me

And gleaming at me all the afternoon
