Coldest Winter In Memory (2005 Digital Remaster) - Al Stewart[00:00:00]
The coldest winter in memory was 1709[00:00:04]
The sea froze off the coast of[00:00:12]
France all along the Neptune line[00:00:15]
By the lost town of Dunwich the shore was washed away[00:00:20]
They say you hear the church bells still[00:00:28]
As they toll beneath the waves[00:00:31]
Come all you earthly princes [00:00:38]
Wheresoever you may be[00:00:42]
From the Sun King in the court of[00:00:46]
France to the Czar in Muscovy[00:00:49]
Take heed of Charles of Sweden [00:00:54]
The Lion North of the North [00:00:58]
On the cracked earth of summer[00:01:02]
With his army he goes forth[00:01:06]
Guardian angels wherever you may be [00:01:14]
Reach down and keep my soul for me[00:01:21]
I was there amongst that number [00:01:32]
I heard the trumpets strain[00:01:37]
I saw the host of banners[00:01:41]
Spread across the Polish plain[00:01:44]
Those who stood against us [00:01:49]
They soon were swept away[00:01:53]
They may have the numbers[00:01:57]
But it's Charles shall have the day[00:02:01]
We cut our way through forests [00:02:07]
Crossed on frozen streams[00:02:11]
They fell away before us like a murmur in a dream[00:02:16]
And they burned the land around us[00:02:23]
As snow was closing in[00:02:27]
And the arms of winter took us[00:02:31]
As we fired against the wind[00:02:35]
Guardian angels wherever you may be [00:02:40]
Reach down and keep my soul for me[00:02:48]
Through all the courts of Europe[00:03:26]
There's a rumor from the East[00:03:29]
The kings have come to battle[00:03:34]
And it's Charles who's known defeat[00:03:37]
They'll shake their heads[00:03:42]
And wonder at how this came to be[00:03:43]
But it's nights without a shelter[00:03:50]
That have made an end for me[00:03:54]
Now Charles is fled to Turkey [00:04:00]
Left his men afar[00:04:04]
And they'll be marched through Moscow now[00:04:08]
As prisoners of the Czar[00:04:12]
And had I but known last summer[00:04:16]
What I know understand[00:04:20]
I'd have never set my foot inside[00:04:24]
This bleak and bitter land[00:04:28]
Guardian angels wherever you may be [00:04:34]
Reach down and keep my soul for me[00:04:41]
The coldest winter in memory was 1709[00:04:49]
The sea froze off the coast of[00:04:57]
France all along the Neptune line[00:04:59]
By the lost town of Dunwich[00:05:04]
The shore was washed away[00:05:09]
They say you hear the church bells still[00:05:13]
As they toll beneath the waves[00:05:16]
