Lyrics :

At the head of Glen Holm
Sheltered 'neath your outspread wing
Where the north wind grows not old
In your arms I hope to find her
For your kingdom is so cold
All is frozen by your hand
Is her hair still raven-black?
And does no one mourn her passing?

Chorus :
Snowgatherer
Where do you lie with her?
Snowgatherer
Winter will not contain her

In this strange and barren land
Hailstones rage upon my face
Higher still your gathering
And I wish I could forget her
All I see is broken worlds
Reaching into wilderness
Yet her arms are 'round me now
Fearing for my life, I love her

(Chorus 2x)
