Winter's Song - Manna

you were just a kid when I first met you

corner of the street where it rained on me

you spoke kindly when I was all shades of black

storms got higher and fear grew strong

weight got heavy and hurt us all

and the holy love that conquers all

was only quietly spoken at nights

I’m alone when the curtains fall

when fear gets a hold and loneliness crawls

oh help me learn to love

and I’ll stay by your side

oh holy love

cover me like snow

swallow me whole

wash away the pain

days go by as I watch them float

pain cast deep like a knife on the throat

but you were just a kid and I needed more

didn’t know what to do

how can you love when you’re lost in the dark

when pain is stronger than your fragile heart

sometimes the holy love that conquers all

is only quietly spoken at nights

oh holy love

cover me like snow

swallow me whole

wash away the pain

oh holy love

cover me like snow

swallow me whole

and I’ll never let you go
