Year-Long Winter

[Verse 1] In the year-long winter, year-long winter A dozen Decembers, we wandered the pavement, blow on the embers Heavy frost in my heart, tips of my fingers Kicking the leaves, theres nothing to feel but the drips from me [Chorus] Is this the sun Are my eyes open Has the day begun Will the light show me what is broken [Verse 2] Colours asleep, deep in the den Gave way to grey, by chancе or by choice we just couldn't say In the drеam quarried seams, forgotten stones A dearth of us, a map through the dark is revealing it's worth [Chorus] Is this the sun Are my eyes open Has the day begun Will the light show me what is broken Is this the sun My eyes are open The day has begun My senses are woken And no fear only strings Till the cracks and it links And the demons retreating And never be neaten The prison is shifting The lions stop visiting Though we slip on the stream Oh two steps in three And the memory of pain Is a tightly held token Smooth through the rain And the light has shown me how to let the hope in
