Lyrics
we are gathered in circles the poets are dreaming
the smoke spirals upwards and into the skies
the stories are woven of life never ending
the spirit of love will be seen in their eyes
the gift of a song the gift of a mirror
the gift of a smile you can take to your heart
this city alight with the snow falling even
when angels are flying good fortune abounds
with faith in each other the magic lays scattered
like leaves in the wind on a fine autumn day
you asked me to say if I bind you in embraces
and I entreat you and ask you to stay
the reason I see you above all the others
the reason is written on my heart today
carried by snowfall the first of the winter
covers the ground as the words fill the air
with faith in each other the magic lays scattered
like leaves in the wind on a fine autumn day
you asked me to say if I bind you in embraces
and I entreat you and ask you to stay
