Seasonal Depression – Mary Lambert

I went down to the frozen creek
Ice like lace on cold winter sheet
It’s been dark for days, haven’t seen the light
Tighten my boots and I start to cry

I cannot heal the whole world with a song that I wrote
Tell me what is the magic chord
But if you’re alone
And the snow’s coming down all around
Maybe you’re sad
‘Cause this year’s been harder than hell
This song’s for you

Take a drive, look at the lights
Call a friend and ask for help
Make some art or sing a tune
It’ll all get better soon

I cannot heal the whole world with a song that I wrote
Tell me what is the magic chord
But if you’re alone
And the snow’s coming down all around
Maybe you’re sad
‘Cause this year’s been harder than hell
This song’s for you

Take your meds if you’re taking meds
Get some rest or eat a snack
Read a book or take a bathe
It’ll all get better soon

I cannot heal the whole world with a song that I wrote
Tell me what is the magic chord
But if you’re alone
And the snow’s coming down all around
Maybe you’re sad
‘Cause this year’s been harder than hell
This life’s for you
