lady, left your lover in the rosebeds
dangling underneath the hanging vine
with his shirt unraveled and his hair down
dreaming of his lover at his side
lady, met your lover in the winter
watching other fireplaces burn
huddled there together while the wind turned
waiting for the season to turn
love is like a hornet, waiting underneath the snow
delicate and dangerous but slow enough to hold
it’s easier to handle when your hands are not so cold
she was just a baby when i found her
wandering the white december hills
whispering the cold would never leave her
whispering my fortune to me still
love is like a hornet, waiting underneath the snow
delicate and dangerous, but slow enough to hold
it’s easier to handle when your hands are not so cold
it’s easier to suddenly let go
