Winterings (Reprise)

Winter always seems to take you by surprise
you see a half-baked pie of fulfillment in everyone's eyes
wounded apple heart and crusty snow smile
you're out to light up the world for awhile

Denver looms like an aluminum dawn
I've got my heart tuned to the wintering song
that inspires me higher up the tree of creativity
bending over a song-to-be nativity

Tonight Laramer screams its busy code
to come and play the music of the cold
merry mandolin of Mary Magdoline
march of the haloed LoDo scene

Lovely city, learn the lessons
burn your light down to its essence
If it feels like what I want
and it looks like what I need
I'll be on the eternal hunt
while inside, the rivers bleed
into caverns of preciousness
slowly losing consciousness

And when I'm reborn
I know I'll love again
and wear my heart like my shirt torn
yeah I'm gonna live again
and when I pull those doors open
everybody greeting me, wishing my heart content
for love and light to warm my life to fulfillment
sitting 'neath the waning sky light
I'll know the joy of the earth tonight

Winterings always make me feel I'll be all right

"Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite and I don't know why" -- Van Morrison, 'Sweet Thing'
