lyrics

You saw me out the window, wading through deep snow
In the frozen yard, of your warm home
I let go of summer, succumbed to winter in Christmas lights
And the icicle, salt truck, slushy streets, and new luck that I hoped to find

It blossomed in arriving, finding where you left me
Nestled in the snowbank waiting
Where grass still greened in sunlight shining
Dug from a tomb of deteriorated ruin, of July
Where you healed me to keep me, even when my touch was drifting
You helped me stand

Well before we knew
A heart carved in the Pictured Rock
When the lighting of the year turned your hair an auburn spark
It’s reveling, it’s turning, in belief I feel it's mending
All I was enchanting, and dreaming, thoughts shifting
It all led to this, today’s endless bliss
In a midwestern summer, a meant to happen lover
A fate strewn, soon to be kiss

You were caught in my vision, and I can’t forget the listening
To tree frogs and cicadas waiting, the river slowed and pines were circling
Round in our scheme, and all we’d yet to see, in the western range
With a big sky and sunsets pinned by glaciers where trails won’t end They’re gold to you

Well before we knew
A sun cast dune laid like a Sleeping Bear
A blue brighter than eyes on the shore where they stare
Right out to a day all afloat in laughter shared
A pyramid point, a friendship coined, a day broken open with love to bear
