lyrics

the wind cuts through
without you
i must be stronger
i must be stronger now
beneath this strange new weight
i share with songbirds
who’ve had their trees cut down

oh darling
do you need my love
throat’s burning
and then freezing up

you must be out there
you must be out there
i asked the shadow horses
across the sunset gorges
but they hadn’t seen you
yet

the sharpest needle tracked me
ten thousand birches
ten thousand cries of thirst
the mother fox was killed
i saw the hunter
i should have killed him first

oh darling
don’t you think i know
how far i’ve let my dreaming go

you must be out there
you must be out there
i locked the lakeside portal
the years we were immortal

my wishes lit like torches
inside a paper fortress

darling don’t you think i know
i’m kicking in the afterglow
darling don’t you think i know
