lyrics

Winter Field
Burning Fires
Rolling Tyres
A rifle loads its reel

Winter Sky
This grey cast morning
Is just a warning
Where only the brave die

As we stumble through Trodden Weed
Forgetting the life beneath our feet
Asking where do we all go?
Someday soon we all will know

Winter Light
Through any weather
Burn bright as treasure
As lovers evade your sight

Street Light Stump
A frighten fox moans
Lost his way home
Stuck Beacon of the night

As we stumble through Trodden Weed
Forgetting the life beneath our feet
Asking where do we all go?
Someday soon we all will know

And this blackbird has taken to flight
Loaded rifle holds her in his sights
When it's time to flee the nest
Iron bullet embedded in her chest

As we stumble through Trodden Weed
Forgetting the life beneath our feet
Asking where do we all go?
Someday soon we all will know
