Winter stripped the prairies bare
turned the earth to stone
And again she is prepared
to face the cold alone
Snow and frost of winter born
Falling from the sky
Been asleep a week or more
Still I don't know why
Cold takes over every space
Scares away the life
Tears are frozen on her face
Blood is on the knife
No friend or lover lingers here
Dark is all around
She only wants to disappear
Where she won't be found
The pain it doesn't last for long
Then only warmth is left
One day here the next day gone
Sorrow put to death
Winter stripped the prairies bare
Turned the earth to stone
And again she is prepared
To face the cold alone
