Winter has come
On the island
Winter has come
Light, anyone?
Winter has come
On the island
Winter has come
There is no one

Door is ajar
On the island
Door is ajar
Light, anyone?
Door is ajar
On the island
Door is ajar
My dad is gone

Dark is the rose
On the island
Dark is the rose…
Light, anyone?
Dark is the rose
On the island
Dark is the rose
I’m on my own

Ashes reside
On the island
Ashes reside…
Light, anyone?
Ashes reside
On the island
Ashes reside
On the bloodstone

Cigar smoking
On the island
Cigar smoking…
Light, anyone?
Cigar smoking
On the island
Cigar smoking
And stars are on

Snow is falling
On the island
Snow is falling…
Light, anyone?
Snow is falling
On the island
Snow is falling
Fairies, play on!

Earth is alive
On the island
Earth is alive…
I have begun
Earth is alive
On the island
Earth is alive
The smoke has blown
