Winter Through The Eyes Of A Child

I hang the eyes of a child upon my own 
When the air gets too cold and I am feeling old 

Still wish I could lose again 
Yet can no longer stand the chill 

Still wish it could entertain me 
Yet the game had lost its thrill 

I thought I played for you 
But you had lost and I still trudged through 

I won the game for you but you had gone 
Do you see why I wish to lose? 

It’s the leaves that weighed me down 
From the trees I’d hang around that blinded me as a child 

I could not see but I could sense it was dark 
And that my mind had been defiled 

I bet that if the wind blew 
I’d tell the world all I knew 

I may regret it if I choose to 
Now I’ve command on all I do 

The air is raw 
Let my body thaw so I shall be free 

Avail on me the flame of the tree 
You kept burning indefinitely 

Until I’m singed my touch will be frozen 
And I can no longer find our home 

I hang the eyes of a child upon my own 
When the air gets too cold and I am feeling old 

Now the leaves buried by snow see the dark as I’ve known 
Let them be on their own
