about

‘WinterTide’ is a song that reaches back through time and remembers how we have traditionally celebrated the turning of the year and come together with stories, song and gifts from the natural world

lyrics

Oh the fields are bare and the crow flies home
The sheep and cows draw near
Oh come warm yourself by the fireside
And a tale or two you'll hear

"And a Hail O! the WinterTide
The earth folds into sleep
Our stories by the fireside
Our secrets now to keep"

The ground is hard and icy trod
The night is full of stars
Oh bring your drums and bring your songs
For WinterTide is ours.

"And a Hail O! the WinterTide
The earth folds into sleep
Our stories by the fireside
Our secrets now to keep"

And bring your cup and drink your ale
And sing to the apple trees
For a harvest when the summer comes
Be thankful on your knees

"And a Hail O! the WinterTide
The earth folds into sleep
Our stories by the fireside
Our secrets now to keep"

And Hail O! the spirits green
The ghosts of Yuletide
The mandrake and the mistletoe
And magic still beside

"And a Hail O! the WinterTide
The earth folds into sleep
Our stories by the fireside
Our secrets now to keep"
