Mercury falling
Bm F#m/A
I rise from my bed
Bm/D Bm7
Collect my thoughts together
E F#7
I have to hold my head
A/C# G#m/B
It seems that she's gone

And somehow I am pinned by

The hounds of winter

Howling in the wind

I walk through the day

My coat around my ears

Leaving me too soon

I can't make up the fire
Bm F#m/A
The way that she could

I spend all my days

In the search for dry wood

Board all the windows

And close the front door

I can't believe

She won't be here anymore

A season for joy

A season for sorrow

Where she's gone
E F#7
I will surely, surely follow

She brightened my day
Bm F#m/A
She warmed the coldest night

The hounds of winter
