lyrics
I'm sitting with my demon's
my companions old friends
with ink stains on my finger tips
and jack on the night stand
chasing metaphors for the right turn of phrase
to catch my wandering thoughts
and bind them to the page
I'm starting to feel the years
though it's not begun to show
it's in the sadness of my smile
it's in the aching of my soul
my body's failing me
feels weaker every day
trying to unchain these melodies
'fore death takes them away
but then my eyes rest on you
my hope and my dream
broken as you are
that's the promise of spring
this winter's been to long
I'm barren I'm cold
we may never see the sun
if we can't hold our hope
if we can hold our hope
She left you to the vipers
no weapons to hold
it seems love failed you once again
drop your hand and you fold
if loves a gamble you ask
why take the risk
haven't you played your best
but all you've won was lonliness
but then your eyes rest of me
you hopes and your dreams
broken as I am
that's the promise of spring
this winter's been to long
I'm barren I'm cold
we may never see the sun
if we can hold our hope
my companions old friends
with ink stains on my finger tips
and jack on the night stand
chasing metaphors for the right turn of phrase
to catch my wandering thoughts
and bind them to the page
I'm starting to feel the years
though it's not begun to show
it's in the sadness of my smile
it's in the aching of my soul
my body's failing me
feels weaker every day
trying to unchain these melodies
'fore death takes them away
but then my eyes rest on you
my hope and my dream
broken as you are
that's the promise of spring
this winter's been to long
I'm barren I'm cold
we may never see the sun
if we can't hold our hope
if we can hold our hope
She left you to the vipers
no weapons to hold
it seems love failed you once again
drop your hand and you fold
if loves a gamble you ask
why take the risk
haven't you played your best
but all you've won was lonliness
but then your eyes rest of me
you hopes and your dreams
broken as I am
that's the promise of spring
this winter's been to long
I'm barren I'm cold
we may never see the sun
if we can hold our hope
