Lyrics:

The cold north wind they call ' la bise '
Is swirling round about my knees ,
Trees are crying leaves into the river ;
I'm huddled in this french caf'e ,
I never thought i'd see the day ,
But winter is here and summer's really over ,
Even the birds have packed up and gone ,
They're flying south with their song ,
And my love , she too has gone , she had to fly ,
Take care , it's such a lonely sky ,
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight ,
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky ,
Fly away , fly to me , fly when the wind is high ,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
The old cathedral lights are low ,
She and i we'd often go there ,
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer ;
Lords and ladies lie in stone ,
Hand in hand from long ago ,
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever ,
Even the choir rehearses those songs ,
For christmas is not long ,
And alone , i sing my song , she had to fly ,
Out there it's such a lonely sky ,
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight ,
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky ,
Fly away , fly to me , fly when the wind is high ,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ,
Fly away , fly to me , and if you need my love ,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
I'll come in with the dawn ,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ,
On the wings of the morn ,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ,
Above the world we'll be flying ,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
