Winter Harvest

Lyrics

Long ago past eternity,
All the hip I was meant to be,
I rode a hundred miles and hour, in the rain,
I had no greater cause,
Then finding ways around the laws,
That obscured my destination and clouded up my brain,

Then I saw you all alone, at the station, Christmas morning heading home,
You were reading J.R. Tolkien I requested your name,
Beneath the darkness in your eyes, there was kindness, I began to realize,
We were heading to our future, on a Northbound Train,

We took refuge in the city,
A move decided by committee,
Overlords, of al the freaks and the strays,
Then I tore you apart,
A gentle defect in my heart,
As you gathered up the pieces I blew you away,

Then I saw you all alone, at the airport one Friday heading home,
You were reading Robert Jordan I remembered your name,
Beneath the darkness in your eyes, there was kindness, I began to realize,
You were sent as my salvation on that Northbound Train,

And I hope your heart is free, and you’re all you dreamt to be,
For my youthful indiscretion, I must carry the shame,
And your lips were so sublime, I thought perhaps you were divine,
As we rushed on through the winter, on that Northbound Train,
You were sent as my deliverance, on that Northbound Train,
You were sent as my salvation, on that Northbound Train…
