In Your Lair, Bear

Where did you go

When the snow fell that year

you were inside these wooden walls

like a bear

eager child for the end in your lair

for the end of the year

And that old familiar fear

creeps up your little arms

and runs through your veins

like blood through your songs

like blood through your songs

like blood through your songs

And then summer came

and he wore you like a charm

and you knew yourself

that what had come

would soon be gone

well sometimes in your burrowed hole

you love to be the pawn

always moving on

Oh where did I go

when the rains fell that year

we were inside that wooden house

like a bear

eager child for the end to be near

for the end of the year

And then winter came

and I wore him

like a charm

and we knew that what had come

would soon be gone

well sometimes in my burrowed hole

I feel it coming on

Always moving on

An island is always alone

and you were breaking yours with a stone

so I took you home to a bastion

a hurricane by any other name

so I took you home and I crashed you

a hurricane in your veins
