Picture Of The Winter

from Again The Night by Frances Smith

/

lyrics

There was a picture of the winter
of the saviour, of the warrior, of the lost
it was there like disappointment
laid out across the hills
moving down towards the river
"it's the tears of god" he said
as he walked along the lane
that led to the wounds the quarry made

I'd been digging up the old roots
when I found the fragments of the past
was a picture of the winter
of the sainted, of the wanderer, of the feast
and I knew he'd loved them once

And he was looking at the low sun
across the fields he heard the noise
she said she was trying to protect him
but she was there to meet her needs
for silence in the face of fear

There was a picture of the winter
of the saintless, of the weakened, of the last
and the child had grown into the person
who had been around him, and he cried
he had always wanted to be freed

The grey mist was lying longer
and the day was like a dream
the ,man walked as if he were a shadow
into the small white house, with a blue door
it was a picture of the winter
