Birds' wings in winter's fire Spread out against the sky A dozen - maybe seven more That touch my heart as they fly by This brittle winter air So thin it steals your breath Reminds me of your fragile taste When i roll into your arms Oh how brittle you feel Like the snow light that finds you here Oh your fragile frame You're nothing more than bones and skin A feather fell today I saw you turn to see The sun caught in a wing A plane so far away That cut this winter air So thin it steals away The colours of your cheek Making you look cold and pale A nameless winter wind Makes you draw closer to my side I wish i could contain - Protect you from the wind and rain.
