Gray Zephyr

Some day the frost will loosen its silver teeth Some road will

turn and carry us home Till then I fold my fear like

a letter

Keep it warm in my coat The night is large,

but I am larger When I breathe

and stay (ahhhh)

If the roof bends low

I will not break

If the cold gets cruel

I will keep a flame

Small as a match

Bright as a vow

One day it gets better

Warmer in the rain

One day it gets clearer

Gold along the grain

Hold on, my heart

Hold on through the weather

One day we wake lighter One day we wake together (ooh)

There will be bread on the table

Sun on the floor

Names we can say without hurting Keys in a kinder door

For now, count the steps,

not the distance Drink from the dawn before it is seen

I am still here,

I am listening

To the blood turning green One day it gets better

Warmer in the rain

One day it gets clearer

Gold along the grain

Hold on, my heart

Hold on through the weather

One day we wake lighter One day we wake together (yeah)

Not today, maybe not tomorrow

Still the ember knows its name

Carry it under your ribs

Through the sleet, through the strain

Better will come softly

Warmer will come slow

Stay, little heart

Stay and grow (ooh)
