South For The Winter Songtext / Lyric

Settling in for a lonely one

Quiet as snow now the lights are gone

The houses fall and they rise anew

But the faces change

They all move on like you

The air feels colder tonight

They all pass over in the fading light



South for the winter once again

So as we end so life begins



Covering up all the careless things

The curtains drawn on the suffering

The postcards come from a brighter day

I'll see you soon, but soon seems far away

The wind calls the moth from the nest

The wings grow tired but there's no rest






South for the winter once again

So as we end so life begins

South for the winter back to blue

Over and over but not over you



Speak slowly so I can see

The sun from your memory

Just take your sweet time let it last beyond the dream

I know you can't stay for long

Soon the courage to be strong

You'll fly away and I'll lay in the place of sleep

This place of sleep

This place of sleep



South for the winter once again

So as we end so I begin

South for the winter flying free

Gone to the dawn leave the dark for me



I'm just settling in for a lonely one

Quiet as snow all the lights are gone

You're gone

You're gone
