[00:02.00] Ray Lamontagne - Winter Birds
[00:23.00]
[00:24.50] It's the Widow now that owns that angry plow,
[00:30.95] The spartan Mule and The Crippled Cow
[00:38.04] The fallow field that will yield no more,
[00:44.29] As the fox lay sleeping beneath her kitchen floor
[00:49.50]
[00:53.66] The stream can't contain such the withering rain,
[01:01.52] And from the pasture the fence it is leaning away
[01:07.95] The clouds crack and growl
[01:10.01] Like some great cat on the prowl
[01:13.93] Crying out, "I am, I am" over and over again
[01:19.85]
[01:24.52] The days grow short
[01:27.51] As the nights grow long
[01:32.57] The kettle sings its tortured song
[01:39.56] As many petalled kiss I place upon her brow,
[01:44.12] Oh, my lady, Lady I am loving you now
[01:52.23]
[02:16.50] The winter birds have come back again,
[02:23.90] Here the sprightly Chickadee
[02:26.67] Gone now is the Willow Wren
[02:30.67] In passing greet each other as if old, old friends
[02:36.92] And to the voiceless trees
[02:39.20] It is their own they will lend
[02:41.80]
[02:46.44] The days grow short
[02:49.45] As the nights grow long
[02:54.07] The kettle sings its tortured song
[03:01.63] As many petalled kiss I place upon her brow,
[03:06.58] Oh, my lady, Lady I am loving you now
[03:13.53]
[03:18.07] And though all these things will change,
[03:31.51] The memories will remain
[03:43.94] As green to gold, and gold to brown
[03:52.39] The leaves will fall to feed the ground
[03:58.73] And in their falling, make no sound
[04:04.43] Oh my lady, lady I am loving you now
[04:11.64]
[04:32.59] I've gathered all my money and I'm goin' to town,
[04:40.51] To buy my lady a long and flowing gown
[04:47.09] 'Cause come tomorrow morning
[04:48.88] We're off to the county fair
[04:53.13] I'll find a yellow flower
[04:56.26] And I will lace it in her hair
[04:59.61]
[05:03.51] The days grow short
[05:06.14] As the nights grow long
[05:10.79] The kettle sings its tortured song
[05:17.63] As many petalled kiss I place upon her brow,
[05:22.36] Oh, my lady, Lady I am loving you now
[05:30.86]
