Testo di Winter Song

Where did it begin? We forgot to mow the lawn Too much time spent With electric deck of cards Where did it begin? One day the words were gone Letters lost and found In someone’s yard Kids fall down in the snow They used to Shopping carts, a highway Toward a single spire Mask and glove and pipe But not much learned When you let me in Against that careless fire All the farms all the farms All the freight All the books had burned Scratching out a past We don’t remember much Words come apart like Tendon shattered bone Once there was a city You knew well its touch Still got the linen but The memory’s thread is gone Kids fall down in the snow
