Northern Winds - Cursive

Northern winds came whistling through evergreens

Like trains

One temper broods until a temperature breaks

And blooms -- smashing and tearing what we’ve worked toward

One hand will break what the other hand builds

Board the windows up, keep the cellar locked

We’ll feign restraint until it’s over and settled

Our wills are just as strong as the walls we built for them

I won’t rebuild what I have crumbled

I’m tired

Tired

What is faith -- it’s been replaced by insurance policies

Once one thing breaks just have it replaced

Like faith… once whistled through the trees

Now so still

One hand will break what the other hand builds

Board the windows up, keep the cellar locked

You never know when little fevers could flare up For ever day it’s calm, there must be be something brewing

There’s always something storming through these evergreens

Like trains

Northern winds came…

Northern winds came…

Crashing…

And burning down our wills
