Dear winterbird 
how long can you last 
before it gets too cold 
and the earth asks you back.

Dear bended bow
you're ready for the sun 
the old man is leaving 
a longer day's begun. 

Chorus:
Suddenly I can see blue skies again 
hear you say there's nothing less 
that our hearts will mend 
I promise you they do.

Birch trees are bones 
stripped of their leaves 
and pressed between the pages 
of my memory.

This heart of mine 
is ready for the spring 
open up my window 
winterbird take wing.

Chorus:
Suddenly i can see blue skies again 
hear you say there's nothing less 
that our hearts will mend 
i promise you they do. 

It's not easy to pretend!
It's not easy to pretend!
It's not easy to pretend! 
I can see blue skies again 


Chorus:
Suddenly I can see blue skies again 
hear you say there's nothing less 
that our hearts will mend 
I promise you... they do.
