Cold the Snow Clad Mountains - Maggie Reilly

I walk along the shore looking out across the sea

And think of my true lover who’s gone to far from me

So many years have passed since we said our last goodbyes

But still I can’t forget.

His smile

Cold the snow clad mountain

Where the golden eagle flies

On the west wind blowing

Out across the endless skies

Cold the snow clad mountain

Where the moon hangs in a velvet sky

Look and you will find me

Where the wind forever cries

My love he sailed away on the early morning tide

His fortune in some far-off land

He hoped that he would find

He promised to return, so I’ll wait forever more

I know he’ll come to find me someday

Cold the snow clad mountain

Where the golden eagle flies

On the west wind blowing

Out across the endless skies

Cold the snow clad mountain

Where the moon hangs in a velvet sky

Look and you will find me

Where the wind forever cries
