The chorus is (more or less) Don't Forget to sing Oh la-di-da-di-da-o I'll remind you if you remind me For the winter's long but song will keep us ?strong? keepin' us ?on? are the ones of ?feather blood and bone?, my friend the ?creatures? will keep me a singin' Any help with this and the verses would be deeply appreciated. |

I am hoping that the liner notes have the lyrics, and if they do, I will check with her to see if it's OK to post them here. |

For the winter is long, but song will keep us on keeping us on are the ones of feather, blood and bones my friend Your kinship will keep me a-singin Gather round on the darkest day of the year and light a fire keep it lit we all are here bow and string knowing fingers draw a tune we'll raise our voices and we'll sing to the rising moon and Chorus outside my window sun dances on the leaves If I'm that tree, well then my friends you are the light without you oh I would surely fall I bow my branches in thanks to you all and ...
