winter's on the wing lyrics

Winter's on the wing
Here's a fine spring morn'
Comin' clean through the night
From the May I say
Winter's taken flight
Sweepin' dark cold air
Out to sea, spring is born
Comes the day I say

And you'll be here to see it
Stand and breathe it all our day
Stoop and feel it, stop and hear it
Spring, I say

And now the sun is climbin' high
Risin' fast on fire
Glarin' down through the gloom
Gone the gray, I say
The sun spells the doom
Of the winter's reign
Ice and chill must retire
From the May I say

And you'll be here to see it
Stand and breathe it all our day
Stoop and feel it, stop and hear it
Spring, I say

I say, be gone, ye howlin' gales
Be off, ye frosty morns
All ye solid streams begin to thaw
Melt, ye waterfalls
Part ye frozen winter walls
See, see now it's startin'

And now the mist is liftin' high
Leavin' bright blue air
Rollin' clean 'cross the Moor
From the May, I say
The storm'll soon be by
Leavin' clear blue sky
Soon the sun will shine
From the day, say I

And you'll be here to see it
Stand and breathe it all the days
Stoop and feel it, stop and hear it
Spring, I say
