[Verse 1]
Now I'm a grey old ghost
Weeping in winter trees
And searching for a soul
Waiting for a voice to come

[Verse 2]
She was worth dying for
It is my severed woes I cry
Her eyes were pale like dawn
Out of this gloomy light

[Chorus]
I'll wait there forevermore
The light holds us forever more
Still one second I wouldn't give away
Cold winter nights, I cry on your grave
Why won't you come?
Why won't you come?

[Verse 3]
As she is dying in the snow
The moonlight silently glows
Her tears flow down her cheek
When snow falls from the trees
[Chorus]
I'll wait there forevermore
The light holds us forever more
Still one second I wouldn't give away
Cold winter nights, I cry on your grave
Why won't you come?
Why won't you come?
