South For The Winter (Featuring Tim McIlrath of Rise Against)
The cold wind is crying just outside these walls Standing firm and tall Through all our years
It whispers warnings of a changing place When we are asked to make way or disappear
But it's all that we've ever known It's a dream that we can hold so tight From dusk 'til light Birth to grave, on roads we've paved
Like a mountain touching the clouds Like a cold bird escaping south We crave a home out of harms ways
She says "Be still, child" with a hush of calm To hide the fear that crawls through every vein He says "Just breath, child" to a quiet song Despite the ticking bomb his heart contains
But it's all that we've ever known It's a dream that we can hold so tight From dusk 'til light Birth to grave, on roads we've paved
Like a mountain touching the clouds Like a cold bird escaping south We crave a home out of harms ways
This is where we are now But maybe tomorrow Maybe tomorrow
Because it's all that we've ever known A home in the eve of a storm that takes her breath away It rains with greed but still we need
Like a mountain touching the clouds Like a cold bird escaping south As we hold on to what we've made
