This Year |
Just come down from a high fever, |
from out there in the yard |
While the pyre is burning, it’s hard to feel the weather shift |
or the fear of the dark |
Ahhh |
This year we need a deeper frost |
Me and my meadowlark |
Under the winter’s fears |
Out where the tree line starts |
Down on the north slope |
Down to the creek |
Hold tight til spring |
On and on goes the long winter |
My eyes now fixed to the stars |
We’ve been there before and I’m fairly sure we’ll find a clearing |
in the forest of our hearts |
Ahhh |
This year we need a deeper frost |
Me and my meadowlark |
Under the winter’s fears |
Out where the tree line stops |
Down on the north slope |
Down to the creek |
Hold tight til spring |
But you know I’m not an activist, |
not in the purest sense |
I’m not a pacifist |
I know which rules to bend |
I just reveal my name |
and show my love |
out in the hallows |
Ohhh |
This year we need a deeper frost |
Me and my meadowlark |
Under the winter’s fears |
Out where the tree line stops |
Down on the north slope |
Down to the creek |
Hold tight til spring |
