STEPHEN EGERTON LYRICS

"South For The Winter"

Featuring Tim McIlrath of Rise Against

The cold wind is crying just outside these walls
Standing firm and tall
Through all our years

It whispers warnings of a changing place
When we are asked to make way or disappear

But it's all that we've ever known
It's a dream that we can hold so tight
From dusk 'til light
Birth to grave, on roads we've paved

Like a mountain touching the clouds
Like a cold bird escaping south
We crave a home out of harms ways

She says "Be still, child" with a hush of calm
To hide the fear that crawls through every vein
He says "Just breath, child" to a quiet song
Despite the ticking bomb his heart contains

But it's all that we've ever known
It's a dream that we can hold so tight
From dusk 'til light
Birth to grave, on roads we've paved

Like a mountain touching the clouds
Like a cold bird escaping south
We crave a home out of harms ways

This is where we are now
But maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow

Because it's all that we've ever known
A home in the eve of a storm that takes her breath away
It rains with greed but still we need

Like a mountain touching the clouds
Like a cold bird escaping south
As we hold on to what we've made
