Wondering what I've been holding on to
That's been causing the ice to give way
Winter's disguise rendered me blind
I can't tell my dreams from the day
The wolf on the lawn is pointing to follow this way
Instrumental
Was it just in my head, all those words that were said
So cold, somehow relieving
One foot off the ground, the deer in the dawn
Has vanished, just like the trail
Staring up into the darkness
Confusing the snowfall for stars
Alone, with no prayers or reason
Accepting the fact that this will all pass
And cruel to the bone, nobody's at home
Out here in nature's domain
Instrumental
Was it all for naught, all the lessons we taught?
So callous and bent on deceiving
The owl in the barn, spinning your yarn
While the dream is slipping away
