Some Winters Lyrics - Singles - Blood Ruby

The thaw comes gnawing 

Up the hillside. 

Trees cling like vines 

To the morning light. 

Me in my window, 

A glassy gray sky. 

It creeps inside 

To where the sleeping lie. 

Some winters, 

They linger. 

They heave their frost 

Till summer. 

Some winters, 

They keep us 

Locked under ice. 

Some winters, 

They haunt us. 

They fill our lives 

With shadows. 

Some winters, 

They leave us 

Barely alive. 

Some winters, 

They crush us. 

They tear us 

Bare and broken. 

Some winters, 

We need them, 

This bitter fight 

That only the soul survives. 

The crows are calling 

Across the long miles. 

Lend me your flight; 

Be my lonely guides. 

We'll rise like letters, 

Ink across the light, 

Always a sign 

Of the stubbornness of life. 

Some winters, 

They linger. 

They heave their frost 

Till summer. 

Some winters, 

They keep us 

Locked under ice. 

Some winters, 

They haunt us. 

They fill our lives 

With shadows. 

Some winters, 

They leave us 

Barely alive. 

Some winters, 

They crush us. 

They tear us 

Bare and broken. 

Some winters, 

We need them, 

This bitter fight 

That only the soul survives.
