THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG...
Snowbound is a song of enchantment - the enchantress is weaving a spell of words, music and erotica around the lost knight who has stumbled across her cottage deep in the dark snowy forest. Despite her solitude and powers, deep down she is lonely and is rather enjoying his company. She is timeless, but using her powers she has ensured that she appears always youthful and beautiful to him. He has been trapped in enchantment for longer than he realises. Every so often the veil thins and her magic weakens and she seeks to reassure him there is nowhere else he needs to be. Like Arthur the Once and Future King, the horse he was riding is quite lost to the realm of fae.

lyrics

Oh my love how soon you weary of these winter days
Round and round goes the time and on your mind it plays
You may tend the fire and wait for springtime to begin
But against the frost and snow you know you’ll never win
So it’s time for lying in

How your touch it warms my skin, your love it warms my heart
If I had my way you know we’d never be apart
Fire faeries dance and cast their shadows on the walls
While lords and ladies shiver deep in lonely palace halls
And the snow silently falls

Draw you nearer to the fire and rest your troubled mind
There is no more toil and only comfort here to find
The river’s raging torrent frozen hard as any ground
The forest breathing soft and low in frosty featherdown
And how I love to be snowbound.
