Winter bites back!

GLAZED: Iced-over cherries hang on a tree in Ceres in the Western Cape after a cold spell. Die Burger
So, day two of spring and we have snow in the Cape and chilly winds... typical SA weather, reminds me of new years day 2001, we had a warm morning, then a thunderstorm, then a cold front moved over the country and by evening we were down to winter woolies... 4 seasons in one day it was...
Tonight I met Cameo... the cutest Persian kitten I have ever seen... such a friendly li'l one... but if you know his owner it is no wonder, thanks Shaz, quite an interesting evening and a lot to mull over.
Wondering what lyrics would suit the theme I remembered this rather unknown song by Dido Armstrong...
Christmas Day - Dido.
A young gentleman came riding past,
On a snow blue winters day,
He asked to drink by our fire
And I was pleased to let him stay,

He drank there quietly for a while,
And then he turned and said to me,

Your eyes are green,
Like summer grass,
Your lips are red,
Like a fresh cut rose,
Your hair is soft,
Like an Irish stream,
And your voice,
Is filled with sweet beauty

And the last words I heard him say

Were I shall return,
For you,
My love,
On Christmas Day

And the night will come,
But I won't sleep,
As I watch the stars that lead him,
I cannot place where he is,
But still my heart goes with him,
I'm saving all my Sunday clothes
For the day that I'll be leaving,
Father knows,
My sister knows,
And my friends,
They're happy for me,
And the priest he says,
You should thank God,
For the blessing,
Of such beauty

And the last words
I heard him say,

Were I shall return,
For you,
My love,
On Christmas Day
I shall return,
For you,
My love,
On Christmas Day

(On Christmas Day)
(I shall return for you my love)

And the last words
I heard him say
Were the last words
I everHeard him say

I shall return,
For you,
My love
On Christmas Day
I swear,
I will return,
On Christmas Day,
And yes,
I shall return,
On Christmas Day,
I shall return,
For you,
On Christmas Day
My love,
I will return,
On Christmas Day
I shall return,
My love
On Christmas Day

On Christmas Day.
I often listen to this song and read a deeper meaning, I may be wrong but I sense that Dido is singing of Jesus, one day returning for His Bride... Strange how this song makes me think of this but this is the picture I get in my mind every time I hear it. Must be the tone of her voice as well as she sings it.
"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." Crowfoot's last words (1890) - Blackfoot warrior and orator
