Snow Line

Swallow falls in the first snow
Too late for south, too small, too light for storm
The mountain flank is muffled white
Over creatures buried safe and deep
To know peace like this cloud covered sleep
Feathered wings grow cold
Beating breast grows still
Accepts, as truly wild things will
The tender violence of winter death
Lets the ghosts out of frozen rivers
We don’t wait for spring here
We don’t wait for spring

Song You Won't Hear
02:36

I lie awake in bed next to sobs and tears
As mother waits for father at the front door
I can hear your keys open locks and years
You started this family, then left it torn
Well our father-son blood ties
I would give them up if I had a choice
Brother and sister try to make you a dad
But we know we're just pictures in your wallet
As for you and I, our deepest bonds are dead
So go on with your life, I don't need your regret
Well our father-son blood ties
I would give them up if I had a choice

A Summer Peak
02:47
|

|
Dirty boots in the mudroom
Climb summer peaks in his mountain home
From Wheeler to Crystal and Morrison
And his children went away
But with his bike and skis he stays
And the big house is lonely only some
Though he has seen sorrow
He can still find joy
Like a season that knows its time to change
So he practices trombone
On winter nights after clearing snow
From the driveways of neighbors and old friends
Fire burns the fallen pine
The warmth takes him to a different time
When a family chopped kindling at day’s end
Though he’s spread her ashes
Beauty he can see
Like a season that knows its time to turn
Though he has seen sorrow
He can still find joy
Like a season that knows its time to change

Favor of My Daughter

There’s no promise of a future in my last view
Still I know someday you’ll lift what I must set down
When my darkness falls
Remember sunlight
And look for me towards something beautiful
For you will be my eyes
