lyrics

Eye blinks
Stone sinks
Doors shut
Tongues stutter
You look like you are a bit cold, dear
You are cold here

Etching sticks click ice brick thick such
Ledgers keep while fountains sleep
Scores are frozen, sides are chosen
Lattice frostwork, woven hauberk,
Foxes close cold tails to nose
You look like you are a bit cold, dear
You’re still cold here

Fingers felt and snow banks melt
Crimes acquit by fires lit
Lockstep precepts’ resolve dissolves
Ledgers broken, fountains woken
Foxtails flash red through the wooded bed
You look like you want to be warmer

Eye blinks
Tree drinks
Walls end
Breeze bends
Fleeter feet new ground entreats,
“Warmer, you’ll be warm here”

You look like you are becoming warmer
