She walks through the forest barefoot and cold She used to be young then she grew old Used to glide across the dance floor Endless suitors knocking at her door Time slipped by and left her alone The hourglass turned and left her a crone She used to dazzle with just a smile Was at the top of every trend and style It fled away with the leaves of fall Now all she has is death's call The winter's snow has come to stay She cannot escape, gone is the light of day
It's been so long since she felt any cheer Eternal night brings mystery and fear Death's embrace is stiff and cold After so many years she decides to be bold She walks through the forest unto her death Watches the mist that is her last breath What is before her she doesn't know So tired she lays down in a bed of snow The cold covers her and eases her journey She relaxes and lets go of her worry The days are past when she had a care When her skin was soft and so fair The days are gone to never return When for love she would yern Her last thoughts pass through her mind Non of them are beautiful or kind She starts to think she gave in too soon Longs for the days when for her men would swoon With cheeks so rosey and lips so red She could get anything with the promise of her bed But death is cruel without a care His judgement never seems fair He is not your lover or your friend Your stubbornness does not offend His only affection is the kiss of death As he steals away your life's breath
