Lyrics

At last the warmth is near
Blossom on the bough
Blackbird sings so loud
It’s spring

But winter holds on still
Shakes the bough
Until the cradle falls
Until the cradle falls

Now the rains will come
Shadows dance with light
Until all colours burst
Through the night

When the north wind blows
To the corners of your soul
Better hold on tight
Until light

Until the cradle falls
Until the cradle falls
Baby and all
Until the cradle falls


At last the warmth is here
Golden in the fields
Winter far away
For a while

Until autumn calls again
Shakes the bough
Until the cradle falls
Until the cradle falls
Until the cradle falls
