In The Time Before The Frost (by Göran Gustafsson and LMG)
In the evening lit by streetlights
I am bound to hearth and home
And through the season's bounty
My heart will always roam
Light a candle for the living
Light a candle for the lost
Light a candle for the child
In the time before the frost
In the night my angel's watching
Over sleep and mighty dreams
And behold, the world is one
Across the valleys and the streams
Light a candle for the living
Light a candle for the lost
Light a candle for the child
In the time before the frost
I am gazing out my window
And the days are almost done
Hungry for the wind of change
And the rise of a newborn sun
Light a candle for the living
Light a candle for the lost
Light a candle for the child
In the time before the frost
