lyrics

son, where do you wander
way off in the cool mountain air
stay if your footsteps have faltered
among the beds of the rivers and towns

I go just like the season
to leave without promise of return
autumn comes like a demon
and the leaves hide the roads on which I've turned

(chorus 1)
but in the morning I will greet you
like the sun through the limbs of the pines
are there thistles in our garden
has the thrush ceased whistling his cry

left behind with your trouble
for the sun would cure your spirits cold
has the loll of the coast quelled
with the sea swell, the weight upon your soul

remember the days when we'd run
through the forest with guns in our hands
and didn't understand what dies when you kill

(chorus 2)
but oh my brother how I miss you
in this winter you perished to me
though you linger like a stranger
and take the name of my enemy

chorus 1
chorus 2

Lonely Winter Juneau, Alaska

Hi, my name is David and I live in Juneau, Alaska. I'm inspired by the rugged geography of Alaska, and I think that that inspiration translates itself into my music. Thanks for giving a listen!
