Lyrics for Sister Winter

Oh my friends I've Begun to worry right Where I should be grateful I should be satisfied Oh my heart I Would clap and dance in place With my friends I have so Much pleasure to embrace But my heart is Returned to sister winter But my heart is As cold as ice Oh my thoughts I Return to summer time When I kissed your ankle I kissed you through the night All my gifts I gave everything to you Your strange imagination You threw it all away Now my heart is Returned to sister winter Now my heart is As cold as ice All my friends, I've Returned to sister winter All my friends, I Apologise, apologise All my friends, I've Returned to sister winter All my friends, I Apologise, apologise All my friends, I've Returned to sister winter All my friends, I Apologise, apologise La la la la la... And my friends, I've Returned to wish you all the best And my friends, I've Returned to wish you all the best And my friends, I've Returned to wish you all the best And my friends, I've Returned to wish you a Happy Christmas To wish you a Happy Christmas To wish you a Happy Christmas To wish you a Happy Christmas
