Little Jack Frost - Kate Rusby

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 boy 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 and 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’m 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
