the warmth

It's thawing and melting the ice White goats are grazing on the mountainside It's golden, blinded by the sight Of the water, moving in the last of the light I used to think that I Was running from the night But I've been following behind The light, all this time It can't hurt me It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning The warmth is coming back, and now, no, it can't hurt me It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning Moving slowly, tracking laughter through the trees The sound of the safety that's evaded me The calling of the birds, the warmth returns To my extremities, long dead from freezer burn Moving softly on my feet I thought it ran from me But the beckoning sunbeams Are nearly in reach, nearly in reach It can't hurt me It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning The warmth is coming back, and now, no, it can't hurt me It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning It can't hurt me (it was bitter) It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning (the cruel winter) The warmth is coming back, and now, no, it can't hurt me (hear it whisper) It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning (hear it whisper) In the clearing I reached it with hands out like a child Lifting up to eat it, I ate up all the light And it shone through my teeth and I tasted sunbeams Emanating from me, from me, from me In the clearing I reached it with hands out like a child Lifting up to eat it, I ate up all the light And it shone through my teeth and I tasted sunbeams Emanating from me, from me, from me It can't hurt me It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning The warmth is coming back, and now, no, it can't hurt me It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning It can't hurt me (it was bitter) It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning (the cruel winter) The warmth is coming back, and now, no, it can't hurt me (hear it whisper) It's still there, but it can't now, the warmth's returning (hear it whisper)
