The long winter shadows, they walk before us
they're going to break and bore us
Hearts against the darkness
waking with our bodies tangled bare like branches

Hang the bitter sky, the wind is cold but kind
Blind to all the leaves it left behind

The coldest day has yet to come
but the longest night's already gone

You stretch your legs, your body bends to reach the water
the ice below your shadow grows and dances back and forth
back and forth

Hands in your pocket, listen to the morning
waiting for the sky it changes everything
it's everything
we're hanging on the light it's keeping everything alive

The long winter shadows, they're coming for you
they're gonna know your name

But the snow can't hide the sparrows
Can't stop their song from asking for tomorrow

Hang the bitter sky, the wind is cold but kind
it can't recall the leaves it left behind

The coldest day has yet to come
but the longest night's already gone
The coldest day has yet to come
but the longest night's already gone
