Creaking Windows lyrics

Creaking windows

They rattle in the winds

Thoughtless voices

None welcome the cold

The whining winds

They moan and stir

Dust and dirt fly

And fill the air

Shuttering and shaking

Unpensive intruders

Drafting diligence

Cracks and crevices creak

The hoarfrost hag

Searching for sustinance

Lurking in leaks and lures

Stealthfully seeking, stealing...

Longing for warmth

In the harth's heat

In life's passion

Sealed against the cold

Coming to quench the cozy

To steal the warmth

Be it love or life

Compassion or coal

Only to thwart defeat

By hope's divine light

That cannot be vanquished

By unearthly gathering near

Creaking windows

They rattle in the winds

Thoughtless voices

None welcome the cold

The sun brings forth

The light of day

And melts away those fears

Eaves are dripping with thaw

And there awash in puddle frigid

The hoarfrost hag bides her time

Night's impending return

When she will again roam the mind
