Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I tippy-toe across your dream each night
So as to not awake you
Asleep in your summer
A garland of flowers, yellow and white around your waist
[Verse 2]
While I walk these paths of ice
Ice, my breast, and strings of ice, my hair
My hands too hooks of steel
[Verse 3]
Ice nose, snow eyes
Frozen open mouth
Flakes of snow, your bridal veils
I come down the soft white path
Bouquets of poppies
Spilling from my heart
[Verse 4]
Magic is afoot, God moves lives
Magic is afoot, God moves lives
Magic is afoot, God moves lives
Written by: Buffy Sainte-Marie
