winter song

Lyrics

i can't say that i miss my old dog much, and i've never looked back since i left home long ago, but i hoped a trip into the country, would help remind me all the things i used to know, that's what i came for, that's what i hoped for, there once was good blood in the breeze here, we rode across the lake each new year, what have i remembered, what did this used to be, the ice, it used to shine upon our river, it was a mirror that the cold dark water ran way deep beneath, and here were many years of winter drownings, i kept track of these things as they were told to me, and that's what i looked for, that's what i came for. the changes of the year were once a blessing, well this year they're the seasons of my discontent, but i cannot rewrite my old diaries, i can only recall all the things that came & went, but that's what i'd come for, and that's what i'd hoped for.
