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
