Winter's Heir Lyrics

Sea Wolf Winter's Heir

Stepped out through the melting ice
Took care in the coming light
Cathedral bells ringing down
Branches blooming all through town

And in my ears a steady ring
Kept me moving toward the spring
It was a long, long cold year
But I think it's all becoming clear

And I thought it through
I think I want it too
When I saw you there upon your chair
In the light of winter's heir

Came sudden like a southern wind
Like the Santa Ana's blowing in
A pheasant's feather for your thoughts
I said "Don't shoot me with your buck shots"

We listen for the sounds out there
Raised our knives out of fear
It was a long, long cold year
But I think it's all becoming clear

And I've thought it through
I think I want it too
Cause I saw you there upon your chair
In the light of winter's heir

Stepped out through melting ice
Took care in the coming light
Cathedral bells ringing down
Branches blooming all through town

In our ears a steady ring
Kept us moving towards the spring
It was a long, long cold year
But the thaw is finally here

I've thought it through
I'm sure I want too
And I saw you there upon your chair
In the light of winter's heir

When I see you there upon your chair
In the light of winter's heir
I see you there upon your chair
In the light of winter's heir

I see you there upon your chair
In the light of winter's air
And your emerald eyes and raven hair
In the light of winter's heir
