A Long Year - Matthew And The Atlas

Love, I know, it’s been a long, long year

What we lived in the flicker of the light

I hung those feathers like hair upon your shoulder

Best not untethered our bodies to the ground

Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope

Cradled by the dawn

The afterglow, a mothers' love

A deer trail in the snow

I keep the static playing on the radio

You move through the room

With a misty halo

Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope

Cradled by the dawn

The afterglow, a mothers' love

A deer trail in the snow

And we unfold to the edge of it

A crimson sky hangs low

A rush of blood, a … blow

A deer trail in the snow

Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope

Cradled by the dawn

The afterglow, a mothers' love

A deer trail in the snow

And we unfold to the edge of it

A crimson sky hangs low

A rush of blood, a … blow

A deer trail in the snow

Love, I know, it’s been a long, long year
