Here is a tale of the trees in a wood
They were never that pleased on the land that they stood.
So they upped and they walked as far as they could
'Til they felt the sun shine on their branches.
I was little boy lost and I was little boy blue
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
Oh, tonight, cruel world be forgiving
Oh, for once in my life I am living.
There they did stand and there they did stay
When there came a young biy who was running away
From a mad world, a bad world, a world of decay
And it's comfort he sought in their branches.
I was little boy lost and I was little boy blue
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
Oh, tonight, cruel world be forgiving
Oh, for once in my life I am living.
There we found love and there we found joy
And the warmth in his heart oh, it filled the young boy
And his friends taught him magic and secrets of old
While the trees kept him safe with their branches.
I was little boy lost and I was little boy blue
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through.
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
Oh, tonight cruel world be forgiven.
I was little boy lost and I was little boy blue
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
Oh, tonight cruel wold be forgiving
Oh, for once in my life I am living.
Little Jack Frost, Kate Rusby

I've given you an award. Pop over to mine to pick it up!
Thanks for all the lovely comments. I cannot take credit for this beautiful song, written by one of my favourite (and one of Britain's finest) folk singers, Kate Rusby. I thoroughly recommend checking her out! We have a slight sprinkling of snow outside right now...quite unusual for southern England in December! A wonderful winter to you all.
