South For The Winter lyrics

The cold wind is crying just outside these walls Standing firm and tall Through all our years It whispers warnings of a changing place When we are asked to make way or disappear But it's all that we've ever known It's a dream that we can hold so tight From dusk 'til light Birth to grave, on roads we've paved Like a mountain touching the clouds Like a cold bird escaping south We crave a home out of harms ways She says "Be still, child" with a hush of calm To hide the fear that crawls through every vein He says "Just breath, child" to a quiet song Despite the ticking bomb his heart contains But it's all that we've ever known It's a dream that we can hold so tight From dusk 'til light Birth to grave, on roads we've paved Like a mountain touching the clouds Like a cold bird escaping south We crave a home out of harms ways This is where we are now But maybe tomorrow Maybe tomorrow Because it's all that we've ever known A home in the eve of a storm that takes her breath away It rains with greed but still we need Like a mountain touching the clouds Like a cold bird escaping south As we hold on to what we've made
