Winter: Red & Green Lyrics

Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear

Green for the thorn of the holly leaf
That shines in candlelight
That holds the hope of evergreen
That glimmers in the night

Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear

Red for the berry round and full
A drop of blood on snow
That shows us our humanity
That fruit from which we grow

Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear

These rocky fields of black and white
Demanding endless toil
The misty sun gives tired light
To raise the sleeping soil

Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear
