Winter Winds
All the things to say*
On my dying day.
You know the winter winds will one day settle down.
You know the talk of spring will push us off the ground.
Oh I believe in you more than you can now know.
If I could stay right here, I'd never let you go.
This is an oldain I used to sing to you.
You had your mother's eyes. You weren't even two
When we left Ft Greene, you were still in our arms.
We tried the best we could to keep you safe from harm.
And in the end, in the end...
We crossed the Brooklyn . We crossed the ocean wide.
We sold all of our things. We kept our open eyes.
For more the century, took more than our blood and bones,
More than just you and me to make this place our home.
If you love someone, don't be afraid to fall.
What could it mean to win if you can't lose it all?
I know the stars they fall. Sometimes the sky falls too.
Sometimes the long freight train don't stop for me or you.
And in the end, in the end, keep your heart open.
Yeah this is an oldain I sang when you lay down.
Though it may sound the same, everything's different now.
I know you'll walk away, over that mountain there.
If I could go with you, I'd follow you everywhere.
There are things so hard. I wish they wouldn't bruise.
Everyone that you love, you will one day lose.
And one day I'll have to go. I'll travel further still.
And I will not return no matter how strong my will.
But you know these winter winds will soon be settling.
Even the sun will shine. One day it will be spring.
Oh it's hard, I know, to carry on.
Go with grace my son.
On my dying day.
You know the winter winds will one day settle down.
You know the talk of spring will push us off the ground.
Oh I believe in you more than you can now know.
If I could stay right here, I'd never let you go.
This is an oldain I used to sing to you.
You had your mother's eyes. You weren't even two
When we left Ft Greene, you were still in our arms.
We tried the best we could to keep you safe from harm.
And in the end, in the end...
We crossed the Brooklyn . We crossed the ocean wide.
We sold all of our things. We kept our open eyes.
For more the century, took more than our blood and bones,
More than just you and me to make this place our home.
If you love someone, don't be afraid to fall.
