South For The Winter lyrics by Stephen Egerton
[** feat. Tim McIlrath of Rise Against:]
The cold wind is crying just outside these walls*
Standing firm and tall
Through all our years
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
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
Like a cold bird escaping south
We crave a home out of harms ways
She says "Be still, child" with a hush of calm
To hide the fear that crawls through every vein
He says "Just breath, child" to a quiet song
Despite the ticking bomb his heart contains
But it's all that we've ever known
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
Like a cold bird escaping south
We crave a home out of harms ways
This is where we are now
But maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Because it's all that we've ever known
A home in the eve of a storm that takes her breath away
It rains with greed but still we need
Like a mountain touching the clouds
Like a cold bird escaping south
As we hold on to what we've made
