  • I was following the, I was following the
    I was following the, I was following the
    I was following the, I was following the
    I was following the, I was following the

    I was following the pack, all swaddled in their coats
    With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
    To keep their little heads from falling in the snow
    And I turned 'round and there you go
    And Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red
    As strawberries in the summertime

    I was following the pack, all swaddled in their coats
    With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
    To keep their little heads from falling in the snow
    And I turned 'round and there you go
    And Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red
    As strawberries in the summertime

    I was following the pack, all swaddled in their coats
    With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
    To keep their little heads from falling in the snow
    And I turned 'round and there you go
    And Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red
    As strawberries in summertime Writer/s: Robin Noel Pecknold

  • Muse Myers from Houston, TyDid your friends that you grew up that took the low road ever realize the errors that this was and ”straighten up and fly right”.
  • Lou Barlow from Dayton, Ohio"White Winter Hymnal" sounds just like "Fall Into November" by Folk Implosion from 1997
  • Amy from IllinoisThis song has so much meaning! The red scarf is a symbol for the blood of the martyr, "Michael" a Hebrew name means "who's is like God" or "gift from God" St. Michael was the conqueror of Satan and patron saint of soldiers. The strawberries the good fruits of a righteous person even pagan tradition pairs the strawberry with Venus the goddess of love. So out of Love the Martyr dies, the one like God.
    This song is full of deep meaning!!
