Burn Through Winter

Somewhere past the bruised horizon

I keep a match inside my chest

One small flame against the weather (ahhhh)

If the roof is rain,

let it sing on tin If the road is black,

let my boots begin I carry a dawn folded under my coat

A letter from spring that I haven't wrote When the cold gets

clever, I answer slow

Stone by stone, I learn to grow (yeah)

One day it gets better Brighter than we

know

Warmer than the winter Under all this snow

Till then I hold steady Till then I breathe slow

One day it gets better I don't let go (ooh)

I have seen glass learn the shape of rain Seen tired hands

turn bread from grain So I will stay,

though the night is long A candle can teach a room to

be strong Let the gray sea shoulder my doubt

I am still here,

still looking out (ahhhh)

One day it gets better Soft gold on the floor

Warmer than the silence Opening the door

Till then I keep walking Through the heavy snow

One day it gets better I don't let go (yeah)

Hold on to the ember

Hold on to the thread

Even broken branches

Lift their green from dead

I am not finished

I am not stone (hmmm)

One day it gets better I keep the flame low

Warmer than the winter I don't let go (ooh)
