Snow Dusted Ponies

[Verse 1]
Here we traced all our tracks and the treads of your teens
Felt the wind on your face as you skated the sheet
Here we fought a fox as it danced in high beams
Watched the sun crack the sky behind a snow-covered peak
Here you howled at the top of your lungs
As we flew up the side of the mountain to the overlook view
Where I held on, white knuckles, yet openеd my eyes as he took us all riding for thе very first time

[Chorus]
And I understood what you were trying to say
About life in a Northern town and the way
It can hold you, haunt you, live in your veins
But keep coming back when it whispers your name
Yeah, I understood what you were trying to say
About life in a Northern town and the way
It can hold you, haunt you, live in your veins
But keep coming back when it whispers your name

[Verse 2]
Here your paced the floor like a wild caged beast
Here you looked to the sky and just longed to be free
Here you dreamt of a city by the shores of the sea
Counted the days 'til you could finally leave
Here stood a ghost of a feeling you knew
That somewhere out there were others like you
And yeah, you escaped, but were you ever free?
Cos all roads lead back to your first memories
To the sound of fresh snow as it cracked under feet
Or the ravens who huddle on the lampposts for heat
Or the snow dusted ponies on the side of the road
Searching for the fresh grass though its forty below
For the feel of the word when you say family
For the stories you write to hold your history
For the love letters written to the hurt, to the fear
To the way you always say just what I need to hear

[Chorus]
And I understood what you were trying to say
About life in a Northern town and the way
It can hold you, haunt you, live in your veins
But keep coming back when it whispers your name
Yeah, I understood what you were trying to say
About life in a Northern town and the way
It can hold you, haunt you, live in your veins
But keep coming back when it whispers your name
