Lyrics

Now you don't have a word to call this kind of a year That made you kneel and beg it to turn you right Two dead birds underneath the headlights Every sound they ever made to call out they are alive Every piece of me that breaks Trying to keep from the side of doubt Don't you doubt Everybody's seen some winter don't you take the dark way out Don't you doubt Even your breath is breathing for another one Don't you just take the dark way out Thin wind ringing in the silver tines Yeah, it took you by the throat but it wasn't the killing kind And now you don't tell it like you used to Every day left in the dark is going to come back to you Every hope left in your heart Is waiting on what you'll do with doubt Don't you doubt Everybody's seen some winter don't you take the dark way out Don't you doubt Even your blood is beating for another one Don't you just take the dark way out Don't you doubt The reasons are all dead and they're growing in the ground So why does it give? Why the take? Why the bitter kiss? Why the me? Why the anything? Just be the man, be the child, be the cold midnight Soaking the bones of this town In the breath, in the beak In the honey taken from every green thing giving sweet In the call, in the pull, in the want and want In the sound even your own body knows All there is, seed and shell Your hands are lined with all that they haven't held
