Speak to me of sadness
Speak to me of pain
Tell me how your heart leaps
At the thought of spreading your wings again
Tell of your hunger
How your instinct has you trained
The unexplainable longing
That comes when the snow turns into rain
You say a part of you dies
You say your heart never lies
You say you're never tricked
When they try to
Pull the wool over your eyes
Winter bird I don't know what I've got to do
You can count them up on one hand
Those whose compassion you will take
And you've always had a keen sense
Of whose love was real and whose was fake
You telegraph your movements
The ancient paths you take
You say "it's all the repetition"
And the choices you made for survival's sake
You say a part of you dies
You say your heart never lies
You say you're never tricked
When they try to
Pull the wool over your eyes
Winter bird I don't know what I've got to do
How long will it take
For your heart to grow cold
In the middle of the night
Will you surrender to
The voice that keeps on calling
That keeps on calling you to go
