lyrics

wake up with a startle to the cold wind’s call
i can’t tell if it’s early spring or the death of fall
the trees are bare, land’s frozen mud, a cough into the mist
can’t see too far on up ahead, the fog is much too thick
:igure there must be someone else here among these sticks i see
the harbor’s closed, the ships all gone, i hear a distant buoy
there’s something on the water past the breakers, far from shore
i see a :lashing light, what’s it :lashing for?
for it is not a ship i see, but a haven on the :lood
there is no safe way out there though, it’s much too far beyond
and you never can go home again
you’ve left her and now she’s gone
broke her heart, she cried a year too
now you’ve left her and now she’s left you
walk away from the water for the sea’s too hard to bear
there’s a clearing through the pines, their mure, my thoroughfare
there is no green, just brown and grey, a restlessness i sense
I’m not alone, something’s there, watching in the distance
i cannot breathe, i’ve lost my way, the main road must be closed
i stumble now, i trip and fall, pick up a dead rose
it’s getting dark, it’s getting late, no sun to be going down
it’s moist, it’s thick, the air is froze, mercury dropping now
there’s a house up on the hill, it stands alone in the sky
a light from the front window, a :lame that :lickers shy
there must be someone in there, i must go and see
with a limp in my step, this stick i wield, i carefully proceed
a knock on the door echoes through the wood, no answer to the call
i push that door wide open, it wasn’t locked at all
i call out for just anyone, but only the rooms respond
just a candle on the sill and the cold wind’s call
