The back of the winter is [A] broken And the light lingers [E] long by the door
And the seeds of the summer [A] have spoken In gowans that bloom on the shore
By night and day we'll sport and we'll play and delight
As the dawn [F#m] dances [E] over the bay
[D] Sleep blows the breath [A] of the morning [D] away And we follow [E] the headen home
In darkness we cradled our sorrow [A] And stoked all [E] our fires with fear
Now these bones that lie empty and [A] hollow Are ready for [E] gladness to cheer
By night and day we'll sport and [D] we'll play and [A] delight
As the dawn dances [E] over the bay
Sleep [D] [E] blows the breath of [A] the morning [D] away And we follow [E] the headen home
So long may you sing of the [D] salmon And the snow scented [E] sounds of your home
Well the north wind delivers its [D] sermon Of ice and [E] salt, water and stone
By night and day we'll [B] sport and we'll play and [A] delight
As the dawn dances [F#] over the [E] bay
[F#] Sleep [D] blows [E] the breath of [A] the morning [D] away And we follow [E] the headen home
