It’s thawing And melting the ice
White goats are grazing on the mountainside
It’s golden Blinded by the sight
Of the water Moving in the last of the light
I used to think that I Was running from the night
But I’ve been following behind The light, all this time
It can’t hurt me It’s still there
but it can’t now the warmth’s returning The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
Moving slowly, tracking laughter through the trees The sound of the safety that’s evaded me
The calling of the birds The warmth returns
To my extremities Long dead from freezer burn
Moving softly on my feet I thought it ran from me
But the beckoning sunbeams
Are nearly in reach Nearly in reach
It can’t hurt me It’s still there
but it can’t now the warmth’s returning The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
It can’t hurt me (it was bitter)
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
(The cruel winter) The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me (Hear it whisper)
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
(Hear it whisper)
In the clearing
I reached it With hands out like a child
Lifting up to eat it I ate up all the light
And it shone through my teeth And I tasted sunbeams
Emanating from me From me, from me
In the clearing
I reached it With hands out like a child
Lifting up to eat it I ate up all the light
And it shone through my teeth And I tasted sunbeams
Emanating from me From me, from me
It can’t hurt me It’s still there
but it can’t now the warmth’s returning The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me It’s still there
but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
It can’t hurt me (it was bitter) It’s still there but it can’t now
the warmth’s returning (The cruel winter)
The warmth is coming back and now, no It can’t hurt me
(Hear it whisper) It’s still there but it can’t now
The warmth’s returning (Hear it whisper)
