Cursive Northern Winds Lyrics

Northern Winds Lyrics

Northern winds came whistling through evergreens 

Like trains 

One temper broods until a temperature breaks 

And blooms -- smashing and tearing what we've worked toward 

One hand will break what the other hand builds 

Board the windows up, keep the cellar locked 

We'll feign restraint until it's over and settled 

Our wills are just as strong as the walls we built for them 

I won't rebuild what I have crumbled 

I'm tired 

Tired 



What is faith -- it's been replaced by insurance policies 

Once one thing breaks just have it replaced 

Like faith... once whistled through the trees 

Now so still 

One hand will break what the other hand builds 



Board the windows up, keep the cellar locked 

You never know when little fevers could flare up 

For ever day it's calm, there must be be something brewing 

There's always something storming through these evergreens 

Like trains 



Northern winds came... 

Northern winds came... 

Crashing... 

And burning down our wills
