You Left Us On A Winter's Eve

Paw after paw
Sniffing nose in the air
Trusting me to find your path in life
Below the moon in the mist filled air.

Always by my side
Afraid to be left alone
I promised I would never leave you
And be beside you when darkness falls.

One day you fell ill
We thought the sickness many months
We could not find a cure
You left us on a winter's eve.

Now you rest in the forest
Beneath a gravestone
Where the sun always shines bright
But when the night falls
I always stand watch
Because you were afraid of the dark.

I will never leave your side
As you always stood by mine
When the moon is shining bright
Until the first ray of light.

I will never leave your side
As you always stood by mine
When the moon is shining bright
Until the first ray of light.

I will never leave your side
As you always stood by mine.

I do not believe in the afterlife
So I find no solitude believing you're in a better place
Time passes by every night is the same
By your grave I always stand and keep you company when all is dark.

A storm is drawing near
A storm that other people fear
But my promise I will keep
Never will you be alone.

The wind is increasing, arctic cold around me
Finding it hard to stay awake
On top your gravestone, I take my last breath, taken by the winter's night.

I will never leave your side
As you always stood by mine
When the moon is shining bright
Until the first ray of light.

I will never leave your side
As you always stood by mine
When the moon is shining bright
Until the first ray of light.

I will never leave your side
As you always stood by mine.
