lyrics:
took a walk in the winter woods one night
after a particularly nasty day of training
and that was when out of the corner of my eye
i saw a boy my age sitting by himself in the snow
i almost asked him if he was alright
he was so pale, he really looked like he was freezing
i looked him over, he wore clothes like mine
but where i wore green this boy wore pure white
and his feet were bare
he was pretty cleancut for a town like mine
from where he sat i couldn’t tell if he was breathing
so i picked up the closest stick i could find
and poked him with it to be sure he was alive
i think i spooked him, he looked quite surprised
when he jumped up and snatched away the stick that i was holding
i wondered if this kid has lost his mind
when he took a step towards me and asked if i could see him
and frost bloomed beneath his feet
and i said
of course i see you jokul frosti
winter spirit
my life has made a believer out of me
i remember you from my mother’s stories
you bring the winter
you are jack frost, aren’t you
after that night i often saw him flying
between the treetops and sometimes right beside me
and between sarcastic taunts and pick-up lines
it’s safe to say me and jack got along just fine
i became a bit too interested in his eyes
and his friendly touches would occasionally linger
other than that we were just two normal guys
except for when we kissed that one time
and that other time
it wasn’t until that mid-march night
when he began hinting at the changing of the seasons
he told me he didn’t want the land to die
and i realized that he meant that he was leaving
and i told him i loved him
and he said
i feel just the way you’re feeling
you’re all i ever needed
someone to believe, someone who believes in me
trust me when i tell you i’m not leaving
we will meet again
the other seasons last like 3 months anyway
and then spring came
i enjoyed the warm months while they lasted
it felt like a long time but i passed it
with my best friend by my side
and one morning a cold wind left me gasping
and my dad said
there was a snowstorm blowing in
