Vertical Horizon - South for the Winter lyrics
[Vertical Horizon - South for the Winter lyrics]
Settling in for a lonely one
Quiet as snow now the lights are gone
The houses fall and they rise anew
But the faces change
They all move on like you
The air feels colder tonight
They all pass over in the fading light
South for the winter once again
So as we end, so I begin
Covering up all the careless things
The curtains drawn on the suffering
The postcards come from a brighter day
I'll see you soon, but soon seems far away
The wind calls the moth from the nest
The wings grow tired but there's no rest
South for the winter once again
So as we end, so I begin
South for the winter, back to blue
Over and over, but not over you
Speak slowly so I can see
The sun from your memory
Just take your sweet time let
It last beyond the dream
I know you can't stay for long
Soon the current will be strong
You'll fly away and I'll lay
In this place of sleep this place of sleep
This place of sleep
South for the winter once again
So as we end so I begin
South for the winter flying free
Gone to the dawn leave the dark for me
I'm just settling in for a lonely one
Quiet as snow all the lights are gone
You're gone you're gone
Quiet as snow now the lights are gone
The houses fall and they rise anew
But the faces change
They all move on like you
The air feels colder tonight
They all pass over in the fading light
South for the winter once again
So as we end, so I begin
Covering up all the careless things
The curtains drawn on the suffering
The postcards come from a brighter day
I'll see you soon, but soon seems far away
The wind calls the moth from the nest
The wings grow tired but there's no rest
South for the winter once again
So as we end, so I begin
South for the winter, back to blue
Over and over, but not over you
Speak slowly so I can see
The sun from your memory
Just take your sweet time let
It last beyond the dream
I know you can't stay for long
Soon the current will be strong
You'll fly away and I'll lay
In this place of sleep this place of sleep
This place of sleep
South for the winter once again
So as we end so I begin
South for the winter flying free
Gone to the dawn leave the dark for me
I'm just settling in for a lonely one
Quiet as snow all the lights are gone
You're gone you're gone
