Wondering what I’ve been holding on to That’s been causing the ice to give way Winter’s disguise rendered me blind I can’t tell my dreams from the day The wolf on the lawn is pointing to follow this way
Was it just in my head, all those words that were said So cold, somehow relieving One foot off the ground, the deer in the dawn Has vanished, just like the trail
Staring up into the darkness Confusing the snowfall for stars Alone, with no prayers or reason Accepting the fact that this will all pass
And cruel to the bone, nobody’s at home Out here in nature’s domain
Was it all for naught, all the lessons we taught? So callous and bent on deceiving The owl in the barn, spinning your yarn While the dream is slipping away
