Nine Long Winters

[Verse 1] Nine long winters on my trail... Oh nine long winters on my trail... North wind keep on callin'... But I ain't turned my back yet. Nine long winters at my door... Mmm nine long winters at my door... Frost can have the timber... It can't have my soul. [Verse 2] Snow done covered every track... I said snow done covered every track... Still I know the old road... By the feel beneath my feet. That gray sky hangs so low... That gray sky hangs so low... But the roots of Ýggdrasil... Reach deeper than the snow. [Chorus] Nine long winters...oh... Nine long winters... Every bitter season...yeah... Left this fire burnin' higher. Nine long winters... I said nine long winters... Cold can bend these old limbs... It can't break my will, no. [Verse 3] Old raven crossed my way... Yeah that old raven crossed my way... Never spoke a single word... Just watched me walk along. My boots are cracked and worn... Oh my boots are cracked and worn... But an oath is warmer... Than the finest coat. [Bridge] If tomorrow brings another storm... Let it come... I said if tomorrow brings another storm... Let it come... I've walked too far... To fear the snow. [Slide Guitar Solo] [Final Verse] One day winter's gonna win... Oh yeah one day winter's gonna win... Till that day I'll greet the dawn... With these hands still raised. When the cold lays me down... Yeah when the cold lays me down... Tell the Allfather... I kept walkin' home. Oh yes, I did. [Final Chorus] Nine long winters... Oh nine long winters... They took my comfort... They left my honor. Nine long winters... Nine long damn winters... If another one is waiting... I'll meet it on the road. [Outro] North wind's blowin'... Fire's still glowin'... Long as that flame... I'll keep goin'...
