wintertime

   I watch the snow make slow time
   I watch the snow cover up the bottle
   So I can slip between
   I will read the label from underneath
   I will wear the circle in my sleep

   This one......This cut is deep
   The livid velvet night always feels the same
   It can scrape the bark off your bones
   Maybe put them back together again

   But the sad is a very special thing
   It can keep you at the start
   It can leave you standing naked in a jar
   Your occult dreams are torn apart
   And the fixes seem so futile

   This one.....Red and brutal
   A raven heart so full of humanity
   Not gentle like that sable good night
   Only you can set a paper tiger free.
