Year Without a Summer Songtext
von Hungrytown

In the month of November, eighteen and fifteen
Was the coldest of winters that ever we′d seen
I gave myself up at the age of thirteen
And he promised we'd marry in springtime


When the rivers they froze and the mills could not run
We′d sit close by the fire 'til each cold day was done
And dream of our fields growing green in the sun
And he promised we'd marry in springtime

I listened through June and watched all July long
For the first buds of spring and the hummingbird′s song
But the snows never stopped ′til my love he was gone
And he promised we'd marry in springtime

I will go to the meadow to lay myself down
With a stone for my pillow and my bed the cold ground
′Neath a blanket of snow, with the stars all around
And I'll never awaken ′til springtime
