South For The Winter

The cold wind is crying just outside these walls
Standing firm and tall
Through all our years

And it whispers warnings of a changing place
When we are asked to make way
Or disappear

But it's all that we've ever known
(Woah)
It's a dream that we can
Hold so tight
From dusk 'til light
Birth to grave
On roads we've paved
Like a mountain touching the clouds
(Woah)
Like a cold bird escaping
South, we crave
A home out of harm's way

She says "be still, child" with a hush of calm
To hide the fear that crawls
Through every vein

And he says "just breathe, child" to a quiet song
Despite the ticking bomb
His heart contains

But it's all that we've ever known
(Woah)
It's a dream that we can
Hold so tight
From dusk 'til light
Birth to grave
On roads we've paved
Like a mountain touching the clouds
(Woah)
Like a cold bird escaping
South, we crave
A home out of harm's way

This is where we are now
But maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow, oh

Woah
Because it's all that we've ever known
(Woah)
A home in the eye of a
Storm that takes
Your breath away
It rains with greed
But still we need
Like a mountain touching the clouds
(Woah)
Like a cold bird escaping
South, as we
Hold on to what we made
