lyrics

May the snow fall gently upon your shoulders,
may the north wind rock you to sleep.
May the sun shine cold and bright upon the ground,
and may your seedlings gently keep.

For now is the time of the Holly King,
And all the longest night,
He keeps his vigil for the dawn
To bring back the sun kings light.

Chorus
Softly slumbers the mighty oak,
the ash and aspen too,
but in their dreams of ever green,
you'll find they dream of you....

The air is filled with falling stars
Slow and soft onto the ground
Dance the a dance of footprints
As life slumbers all around

Drink well the wine of winter
Let tales of old be sung
As Frau Hulda makes her bed
The longest night's begun

Chorus
Softly slumbers the mighty oak,
the ash and aspen too,
but in their dreams of ever green,
you'll find they dream of you...

Bridge
Hooves fall silent
As the horned one stalks the night
Leading home the wayward
Through the storms of silver white
Bring forth the light....

And as the candle's burning down
The dawn climbs to the sky
The Holly King lays down his crown
With a worn and gentle smile

He know his time will come again
For when the wind blown cold
And the world falls asleep once more
In winter's bitter hold

Chorus
Softly slumbers the mighty oak,
the ash and aspen too,
but in their dreams of ever green,
you'll find they dream of you....
