lyrics

Winter lament (intro: C G F G C)
C G
On this late winter’s night, frogs offer hymns to the moon
F G
Though wind’s blowing bitter their song tells of spring coming soon
F G C Am
I should be singing like them, but I’m conjuring demons, I’m hurting again
F G
Yes, spring’ll come but then everything dies in the end

Those who can live with themselves must live with their truth
I can dodge mine so long but then comes the time it’s no use
The higher I’ve climbed toward some light, the further I fall when it’s shining too bright
Deep in the shadows where whisper pain I can’t hide

F G
How much will you take, I don’t know
C Am
I’m thorns upon scars upon wounds to my soul
F G
Some days I’m alright, some times I just fall apart
F G
My torments - you don’t deserve
C Am
You accept like the weather, trust it’ll get better
F G C
I lament winter, you hold the spring in your heart

I’ve thought about changes, changes that come with a cost
Where what might be gained is paid for by more that is lost
I could fade away into night, doing you wrong with no good reasons why
But the thing about leaving, it never makes nothing alright
