Dresden Heather Song - Twa Corbies

She went for a walk

On the evening of a winter’s day

She went for a walk

A cold wind blew and the sky was grey

And a teardrop hung in the corner of her eye

Was it a frosty air?

Or did she cry?

And her head was heavy and her stride was slow

What had she seen?

Where would she go?

She went for a walk

Out to the fields where the woodlands lay

She went for a walk

Then passed a last house on her way

She turned around and saw to the light

From the window it shone so incredibly bright

But not for too long then she went on

And soon her silhouette was gone

She went for a walk

Over snow covered hills, into the dark

She went for a walk

Where the woods were so impenetrably stark

When she reached the woods and no one was there

The wind grew stronger and frost hung in the air

She grabbed the bottle she had brought along

And drank that liquor so awfully strong

She went for a walk

Soon she felt her tether end

She went for a walk

While the bottle fell out of her hand

She went for a walk

She lay down in the snow so deep

She went for a walk

Where she fell into a dreamless sleep

She went for a walk

Better to be dead than to be a slave

She went for a walk

A blanket of snow finally covered her grave
