Winter Song

I can't say that i miss my old dog much

And i've never looked back since i left home long ago

But i hoped a trip into the country

Would help remind me all the things i used to know



That's what i came for

That's what i hoped for



There once was good blood in the breeze here

We rode across the lake each new year

What have i remembered

What did this used to be



The ice, it used to shine upon our river

It was a mirror that the cold dark water ran away deep beneath

And here were many years of winter drownings

I kept track of these things as they were told to me



And that's what i came for

That's what i hoped for



There once was good blood in the breeze here

We rode across the lake each new year

What have i remembered

What did this used to be



The changes of the year were once like breathing

Well this year they're the seasons of my discontent

But i cannot rewrite my old diaries

I can only recall all the things that came & went



And that's what i came for

That's what i hoped for



There once was good blood in the breeze here

We rode across the lake each new year

What have i remembered

What did this used to be
