Winterlude Paroles

and the snow's aloft in the trees in your backyard

and the snow drifts throughout the course of my veins
buffer my blood and lift my pain
get me caught in the clots it creates
get me caught in the clots it creates

take a slip into solitude and fall asleep
between train cars, airplanes, lamppost remedy
pour your heart into a cup of tea and leave it there to seep
warm your bones before the sparkle gets too deep

the years engrave acres into the heart
and the snow's aloft in the trees in your backyard

and the snow drifts throughout the course of my veins
buffer my blood and lift my pain
get me caught in the clots it creates
get me caught in the clots it creates

give me life, give me life
give me life, give me life

give me a shutter sunrise, some room to breathe
give me life, i wanna live tonight.
