lyrics
In the deep of winter
An aching, a violence
No respite in silence
A song will endure
For words will choke every thought in the throat
But the melody waits for the soul, and lends hope
That patience we learn
By the bow and by the stern
A trust that tomorrow will lighten our load
Soften our sorrow, and future unfold
In the deep of winter
An aching, a violence
No respite in silence
A song will endure
By many names that noun has been known
By many more is it offered to us
Please understand that thing is your own
There's no right and no wrong to divide us
Whether hope, trust, or patience
Whether faith, dream, or belief
Whether granted by an almighty someone
Or heard in a series of beats
In the deep of winter
An aching, a violence
No respite in silence
A song will endure
In your deep dark winter
Where the skies have gone gray
When all warmth has eluded
And you've nothing to say
Then say nothing at all
But hum to the snowfall
Here's the thing about winter
It comes and then it goes
It pillages the insides and dribbles out the nose
And so song will outlast
The darkness will pass
As the melody grows
So the spring to the toes
