today leaves hold fast to your boots, my love
where have you wandered?

to you, my love, to you,
I cannot wander, my path leads to you.

today snow collects along your collar, my love
where have you wandered?

to you, my love, to you,
I cannot wander, my path leads to you.

today your cap is wet, my love
where have you wandered?

to you, my love, to you,
I cannot wander, my path leads to you.

today the sun has scorched your brow, my love
where have you wandered?

to you, my love, to you,
the path is changed each day I come.
yet I come each day, and I come for you.
