Dear winterbird
How long can you last
Before it gets too cold
And the earth asks you back.
Dear bended bow
You're ready for the sun
The old man is leaving
A longer day's begun.
Suddenly I can see blue skies again
Hear you say there's nothing less
That our hearts will mend
I promise you they do.
Birch trees are bones
Stripped of their leaves
And pressed between the pages
Of my memory.
This heart of mine
Is ready for the spring
Open up my window
Winterbird take wing.
Suddenly I can see blue skies again
Hear you say there's nothing less
That our hearts will mend
I promise you they do.
It's not easy to pretend!
It's not easy to pretend!
It's not easy to pretend!
I can see blue skies again
Suddenly I can see blue skies again
Hear you say there's nothing less
That our hearts will mend
I promise you... They do.
