When the prince of snow
Sang in his hall
Through air so bright and clear
When the fairest young lady heard his call
All alone and overcame the fear
Where have you gone to, where have you gone
And why did you leave us alone
And she jumped over brooks
And she drank from the stream
And water mirrored the sky
And she clung to the rocks
Feeling like in a dream
And the rising sun made her cry
Where have you gone to, where have you gone
And why did you leave us alone
Slow steps, heavy shoes lined up in order
Dumb glances up to there
Up to the place where she crossed the border
Her wings in a shining glare
Where have you gone to, where have you gone
And why did you leave us alone
As we stood in silence watching the light
That flickered in front of the snow
While we whispered to distant heights dressed in light
Where eternity leaves us below
Our lives will never remain the same
Since you left us in sorrow and pain
Where have you gone to, where have you gone
And why did you leave us alone
