Cover of Winter Songtext
von Lovely Dark

The first light on the wall
And I had noticed how
The sounds were changing
You were sleeping through it all
The growth of beak and claws
My wings were aching
You were suddenly, under me miles and miles away

Rise up against the wind
Release your grip
Circling, circling one more time again
With every feathery sweep of wing
Reconstruct my origin
Leaving it leaving it all behind again


How I′ve missed this cold
The freezing and the thaw
Of winter waking
Barefoot and alone
After touching down
My hands were shaking
Trembling, remembering their own power again

Rise up against the wind
Release your grip
Circling, circling one more time again
With every feathery sweep of wing
Reconstruct my origin
Leaving it leaving it all behind again

Too young and dumb to be afraid
Tumbled down and in a terrible calamity
Caught and snared, await the day
Impatiently I'm leaving it leaving it all behind again
