Dave McPherson Winter: Hibernation lyrics

An optimist's heart connected to a pessimist's mind.
A glitch in the matrix we secretly long to find.
Victims remain victims because they behave like victims.
Don't know how love came through me?
I wore a bullet proof vest.

The building dances like jelly just before it falls on top of me.
The rubble shrouds my eyes with dust but it's the light beyond that I can see.
A fair hand touches all my poor weathered fingertips.
You are the greatest gift that life could ever give a man, a man like me.
And I've been in hibernation for way too long.

Seasonal affective drunken disorder.

Let's hide away in a European lagoon somewhere across the border.
I'll trade a kiss for a promise.
A promise never cracked by dishonesty.

Come, take my hand.
Put on my coat.
We'll shelter from rain under my favourite oak tree.
I'll keep you warm.
I'll part with my heart for you.
