Hymns from Nineveh Cool Fire song lyrics

A flock of mute swans

are singing their autumn hymn

carrying frost on their wings.

Oslo is blue today and so are you.

Dear, you should know

that the winter time is short.

The winter time is short

The winter time is short

Let's buy carnations and candles and white port,

and try not to count the things we have lost.

Let's try to rejoice!

Try to rejoice

in The Cool Fire of the Forest!

If I close my eyes,

I still hear the trill

of the meadowlarks flying high in March,

and still feel the linen

of your white summer dress

(the one you wore by the bonfire)…

Oh, that floral dress

Oh, that floral dress

Let's buy carnations and candles and white port,

and try not to count the things we have lost!

Let's try to rejoice!

Try to rejoice

in The Cool Fire of the Forest!

Let's try to rejoice!

Try to rejoice!

Try to rejoice!

Try to rejoice!

Try to rejoice

in The Cool Fire of the Forest!
