Lyrics for The Redwing

Came along the winter And killed off all my language The shadows got long on the walk Across the ice on the lake The future of December Is memories of last summer So I stoke it like a wood stove I'm always wanting more The endless weight of my life Can be lifted up like wings The underneath of my life An effortlessness in it sings I live up to what I sing to As if I'm telling the truth I imagine who is listening And it's not all of you, I mean La la la la in the morning When the blinds are opened That's when I see the redwing And the redwing sees me too The endless weight of our lives Can be lifted up like wings The underneath of our lives An effortlessness in it sings California winter It brought me back my language And then once I'd spoken the truth That's when the redwing landed And she sang, la la la la la la
