Winter's Heir

Stepped out through the melting ice Took care in the coming light Cathedral bells ringing down Branches blooming all through town

And in my ears a steady ring Kept me moving toward the spring It was a long, long cold year But I think it's all becoming clear

And I thought it through I think I want it too When I saw you there upon your chair In the light of winter's heir

Came sudden like a southern wind Like the Santa Ana's blowing in A pheasant's feather for your thoughts I said "Don't shoot me with your buck shots"

We listen for the sounds out there Raised our knives out of fear It was a long, long cold year But I think it's all becoming clear

And I've thought it through I think I want it too Cause I saw you there upon your chair In the light of winter's heir

Stepped out through melting ice Took care in the coming light Cathedral bells ringing down Branches blooming all through town

In our ears a steady ring Kept us moving towards the spring It was a long, long cold year But the thaw is finally here

I've thought it through I'm sure I want too And I saw you there upon your chair In the light of winter's heir

When I see you there upon your chair In the light of winter's heir I see you there upon your chair In the light of winter's heir

I see you there upon your chair In the light of winter's air And your emerald eyes and raven hair In the light of winter's heir

Probably the most beautiful song I've heard all year. And the album is the best so far, as well.
