Blue Skies Again

dear winterbird

how long can you last

before it gets too cold

and the earth asks you back

dear bened bough

you're ready for the sun

the old man is leaving

a longer day's begun

suddenly i can see blue skies again

hear you say there's nothing less

that our hearts will mend

i promise you they do

birch trees are bones

stripped of their leaves

and pressed between the pages

of my memory

this heart of mine

is ready for the spring

open up my window

winterbird take wing

suddenly i can see blue skies again

hear you say there's nothing less

that our hearts will mend

i promise you they do

it's not easy to pretend

it's not easy to pretend

it's not easy to pretend

i can see blue skies again

suddenly i can see blue skies again

hear you say there's nothing less

that our hearts will mend

i promise you... they do
