Lyrics
Winter Island
Upon your Winter Island
We wore boots
Upon the sand
Thanking heaven for our hunter’s hats
That tied beneath the chin
Upon your Winter Island
I held you so close
I felt the bird
you keep within your chest
Spread it’s wing & beat against
me
Upon your Winter Island
We ran upon the sand
We rose & fell like dark birds
& I kissed
your mittened hand
Upon your Winter Island
We slept in feathered beds
& the howling of the air at night
Was a ghost upon the wind
