"Seasons for Sleep"

We found escape in the constellations
we found an outlet in the stars
no one will touch us this time
With the storm clouds passing below us
and the moon as our guiding light
nothing can hurt us this time

Leaves fall to keep us together
is this how we'll be remembered?
This is where we are
there's nothing we need to run from

Birds, take me with you, fly me south for the winter
under your wings, help me to forgive her

I found comfort in the changing seasons
held hands with angels in the snow
I'll get by fine on my own
I found an anchor in the darkest nights
made friends with ghosts in the cold
I can be fine on my own

Day breaks and the skies are clearing
is this what we'll find in leaving?
This is where I am
there's nothing that I can run from

Bears, let me join you, let me sleep until spring
under your embrace, let me not feel anything
Birds, take me with you, fly me south for the winter
under your wings, help me to forget her
