Autumn, the time of darkness and decay
Life's running shorter day by day
Winter has gripped the land in cold caress
He's all alone and deeply depressed, she's dead

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe and warm
Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna do you harm

Midnight and on the graveyard a storm is rage
The clods of earth hide his whole life
Homeless, who's lonely now will be for long
The wind will drift him on and on like the leaves

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe and warm
Don't you fear the winter, come with me, there'll be no harm

A silent might that has moved you
Hear your waters stand still
Striding down to the elder
Soon you'll meet her again

Autumn, who's got the time knows nothing yet
Who cares, but watchful are the dead
Midnight, it's hard to face and deeply sad
But you're asleep so don't look back, you're dead

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe and warm
Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna do you harm

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe and warm
Don't you fear the winter, come with me, there'll be no harm
