break the spell

• in the winter when the cold comes
  and the wind blows with a scornful spite
  and the hard ground feels barren
  and the forest is deathly quiet
  and the whole world lies sleeping
  there's a gypsy all dressed in white
  put my hand out, ask the question
  here's the silver, do you have the gift of sight?
  
  can you break the spell?
  can you ring the bell?
  can you break the spell?
  it's cold black as night
  i've got a hard heart
  since we've been apart
  can you break the spell?
  break it all down tonight
  
  in the springtime when the floods come
  and the earth bursts with the terrible life
  and the sun splash on the windows
  there's a gypsy and he's all dressed in white
  my heart burns with the question
  can you break the spell?
  still hot as fire
  
  can you break the spell?
  can you ring the bell?
  can you break the spell?
  it's cold black as night
  cold black as night
