Winter's Heir

(album: White Water, White Bloom - 2009)

Stepped out through the melting ice, took care in the common light
Cathedral bells ringing down, branches blooming all through town
And in my ears a steady ring kept me moving towards the spring
It was a long, long cold year, but I think it's all becoming clear

I thought it through, I think I want it too
When I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air

Came sudden like a southern wind, like Santa Ana's blowing in
A pheasant's feather for your thoughts, I sent 'em shooting with your buck-shot
We listened for sounds out there, raised our knives out of fear
It was a long, long and cold year, but I think it's all becoming

I thought it through, I think I want it too
'Cos I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air

Stepped out through the melting ice, took care in the common light
Cathedral bells ringing down, branches blooming all through town
And in our ears a steady ring kept us moving towards the spring
It was a long, long cold year, but the thaw is finally hear

I thought it through, I'm sure I want it too
And I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
I see you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air X2
Your emerald eyes and raven hair, in the light of winter's air
