about

This track is the 100th song in my catalog of music (written independently or collaboratively with other artists).

It is, once again, inspired by the work of Nick Drake (specifically the album Pink Moon), who sings so gently to my winter heart.

lyrics

My throat tightens at the thought
I thought I knew what I'd want
I can't bear to say goodbye

The damage done
The pain not forgotten
I can't bear to say...

Goodbye winter
Goodbye friend
Goodbye cold
You welcomed me in

Was there warmth in that freeze?
A bitter cold that eased?
No comfort in a blinding light
Hidden, I cry

Goodbye winter
Goodbye, winter

You'd known all along
Known I'd been wronged
And life is a gift
I'll never forget...

...the winter air,
my winter heart,
my lovely burden to bear

And
Thich Nhat Hanh
Is me,
A glass of bourbon
And some chamomile tea.
