Cora Songtext
von Latin Quarter

It′s a snowwind
She's felt it blow for sixty years or more
Cora and the snowwind
Like the rowlock and the oar
Cutting through these icy waters to find shelter and perfection
And the shore

Cora′s lived a kind of life
From downstairs maid to miner's wife
Making sure she shined the floor
In Surrey homes before the war
She feels that snowwind blowing
She's not sure where we′re going
Anymore


It′s a snowwind
She's felt it blow for sixty years or more
Cora and the snowwind
Like the rowlock and the oar
Cutting through these icy waters to find shelter and perfection
And the shore

For years past 1926
They dug the hillsides up with picks
While still behind the iron gate
Those winding wheels she′d come to hate
She feels that snowwind blowing
She thinks we might be getting there
Too late

It's a snowwind
It blows so hard it cuts her to the bone
Cora and the snowwind
A woman′s life is not her own
As she dives through icy waters to find passion and survival
All alone

Cora and the sisterhood
Lez sisters now in Przmyśl
And it doesn't sound the same
Without the voices for the hymns
