Scent dripping down from our feet,
Right beneath the piers where we were first to meet.
And I caught you once, but you let me down twice.
I don't know how.
There was a place we would all go to sing.
We'd gather 'round the old town church
To hear those bells ring.
I'll never forget those days --
When I was worthy of your love.
And I promise I won't make a sound
'Cause I figure you no longer want me around.
And I know that the days will pass
And soon, we'll be rid of these things.
So let soft words be spoken.
Join in these winter hymns.
verse 2
Crows flying out with old wings.
Bitter breath with lungs that barely had the strength to sing.
And I fought you once, but you let me win twice,
I don't know why.
And there's a chapter that I keep on trying to read.
But the pages stick and crumble where your fingers used to be.
I'll never forget your hands,
'Cause they were always pushing me.
And I promise I won't make a sound
'Cause I figure you no longer want me around.
And I know that the days will pass
And soon, we'll be rid of these things.
So let brave words be spoken.
Join in these winter hymns.
C, G, C, G, C, G,
But just let us grow.
Patience was lost in the sea.
Just don't go.
And though this darkness will come,
And my heart is in stormy weather,
And the pain is all I have for now,
And I'm homebound
And I promise I won't make a sound
'Cause I figure you no longer want me around.
And I know that the days will pass
And soon, we'll be rid of these things.
So let soft words be spoken.
Join in these winter hymns.
