In the Winter I Returned

Through the snow, wake of morning In the winter I returned Clouds pull shadows 'cross the gland Over roots and dry stonewalls then back again We go to find warmth The cold wind pushes day Black and grey through the valley There are heartbeats in the leaps There are crows that hold the trees And then off, they fly through the sky Time passes and we stayed All the choices I have made Led me to this place I don't travel, I'm always here No matter for the years No matter if I never call you home Through the old moonshine In the winter, I need it As the stars fill the night None of them, I recognize But you gave them all anyway So it's here, I choose to be In the midst and endless trees In a place where swans are white Where it snows at wintertime And you gave me more than I could know Time passes and we stayed All the choices I have made Led me to this place I've travelled, always here No matter for the years No matter if I never call you home How many times will I Leave and then return? How many years until You count me as your home? How many times will I Leave and then return? How many years until You count me as your home?
