Hurtling through heavy snow 
 Our hands are cold and the moon sets low 
 Little sister let your sharp teeth show 
 Past winter fields 
    Stop the car by the old wire post 
 Scaredy rabbits make good paper ghosts 
 That lick the salt off the Sussex coast 
 And fall into winter fields   
 Rows of white 
 Spelled our escape in the old torch lights 
 Oh mother, I’m scared to close my eyes 
 Some winter dreams make you dive and dive and dive down   
 In sub-zero, I can’t stand still 
 Colours of absence flooding the hill 
 In wonderment I trip and spill 
 Through winter fields   
 Under the stairs taps the metronome 
 The diver's suit that we’ve all outgrown 
 I need to get to where the wild things roam 
 Through all of my winter dreams   
 Rows of white 
 Spelled our escape in the old torch lights 
 Oh mother, I’m scared to close my eyes 
 Some winter dreams make you dive and dive and dive down
