0         WINTER LADY

1         Trav'ling lady, stay awhile
2         until the night is over.
3         I'm just a station on your way,
4         I know I'm not your lover.

5         Well I lived with a child of snow
6         when I was a soldier,
7         and I fought every man for her
8         until the nights grew colder.

9         She used to wear her hair like you
10        except when she was sleeping,
11        and then she'd weave it on a loom
12        of smoke and gold and breathing.

13        And why are you so quiet now
14        standing there in the doorway?
15        You chose your journey long before
16        you came upon this highway.

17        Trav'ling lady stay awhile
18        until the night is over.
19        I'm just a station on your way,
20        I know I'm not your lover.
