Lyrics
South For The Winter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The cold wind is crying just outside these walls
Standing firm and tall
Through all our years
It whispers warnings of a changing place
When we are asked to make way or disappear
But it's all that we've ever known
It's a dream that we can hold so tight
From dusk 'til light
Birth to grave, on roads we've paved
Like a mountain touching the clouds
Like a cold bird escaping south
We crave a home out of harms ways
She says "Be still, child" with a hush of calm
To hide the fear that crawls through every vein
He says "Just breath, child" to a quiet song
Despite the ticking bomb his heart contains
But it's all that we've ever known
It's a dream that we can hold so tight
From dusk 'til light
Birth to grave, on roads we've paved
Like a mountain touching the clouds
Like a cold bird escaping south
We crave a home out of harms ways
This is where we are now
But maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Because it's all that we've ever known
A home in the eve of a storm that takes her breath away
It rains with greed but still we need
Like a mountain touching the clouds
Like a cold bird escaping south
As we hold on to what we've made
