about

(For the solstice)

lyrics

Roses frozen on the stem the dog surveys the garden
Ruffled sparrows huddle the ground begins to harden
Shadows lengthen from the south and from the north the cold
And we're beset by old regrets that grow with growing old

Darkness settles in to stay no one wants it here
December still remembers May that too will disappear
Snow is blowing through the streets the wind unwraps the bone
And in these hours that time devours we face the world alone

A year of watching every truth fall further into error
Unfairness telling all who'll hear that nothing could be fairer
The world will ask too much of us; there's nothing to be done
but give an answer equal to the promise of the sun
