Two Figures In The Snow

[Bm] [Bm] [D] [E]
When I [Bm]was[Bm] ju[D]st[Bm] six years old
My mother left me by my own
For a day or maybe three
It's my longest memory
Of all the things that we might be
The summoned past is what we leave
So if you ask me what I am
I shall only show my hand

When I was a little boy
My father never brought me toys
My father only brought me blood
But in the end, blood's not enough
I know this is a lonely road
Eleven thousand miles of cold
To trap the heart and choke it dead
Eleven thousand miles they said
(Eleven thousand miles they said)

[Bm]But oh my darling, don't you fear
I will always keep you near
[D]In the winter take my soul
I will never let you go
[Bm]Oh my darling, you will see
This is what you mean to me
[D]More than riches, more than gold
More than can be bought or so[Bm]ld [Bm]    [Bm]       [D]         [Bm]            [Bm]               [Bm]                  [E]                    [Bm]                       [Bm]                          [Bm]                             [E]                               [Bm]                                  [Bm]                                     [Bm]                                        [Bm]

[Bm] [Bm] [D] [E]
Now min[Bm]e i[Bm]s a[D] s[Bm]imple prayer
Cast into the midnight air
Years enough to what you grow
Years enough so you shall know
Oh this is a lonely road
And onwards, onwards we must go
And yours the gift to raise the dead
Now burn a ghost inside your head
Now burn a ghost inside your head

[Bm]But oh my darling, don't you fear
I will always be right here
[D]In the winter take my soul
I will never let you go
[Bn]Oh my darling, you will see
Everything you mean to me
[D]More than riches, more than gold
More than can be bought or so[Bm]ld [Bm]    [Bm]       [D]         [Bm]            [Bm]               [Bm]                  [E]                    [Bm]                       [Bm]                          [Bm]                             [E]                               [Bm]                                  [Bm]                                     [Bm]                                        [Bm]
