Winter Hours - Carpenters' Square lyrics

When he walked to town that evening Sky was cool and it was clear Though the night fell quickly on him He was young and had no fear Though the road was lined with briers It was straight as it was broke Driven on by his desires He walked on that lonely road And he bore his love so lightly Though heavy were his wares For there was a girl, he hoped to see That night in the Carpenters' Square When he reached the town, he saw her In her finest silk was she Then he knew he made her heaven For he wore simple workman's gear And her eyes, they burned so brightly And her gaze, it was so fair And she filled his mind completely All the way back from Carpenters' Square And his gait fell twice as heavy And his love to big to bear As he walked from town that Friday All the way back from Carpenters' Square And her eyes, they burned so brightly And her gaze, it was so fair And she filled his mind completely All the way back from Carpenters' Square When he walked to town that evening Sky was cool and it was clear Though the night fell quickly on him He was young and had no fear
