Winter tells its truth to anyone who'll listen It will whisper to you slowly when the light is low And I will sit and wonder over everything I've written And still not know
The smell of pine and nursery rhymes is rising There are some things that are broken and some things to hold tight To the few brave birds of the season who are sky writing Shine your light
'Cause there's a drunken angel Dances to my heart Singin' lonely days Brand new start Brand new start
And now is the time I will raise my eyes and be honest And look out across the plane of another tired and reckless year And give thanks for the love and the wonder that was hurled upon us And you, my dear
And a drunken angel Dances to my heart Singin' lonely days Brand new start Brand new start
You can hear the howl of wings, you can feel it when the wine is flowing And the tired and the lonely lay down their weary heads And baby, sometimes the beauty in this world comes from just not knowing Feeling instead Feeling instead Feeling instead
