You start to leave as the hearth begins to wind down
And to the north, the snow capped mountains
A spirited wind from the west carries the ocean from its bed
And to the east you see the trees
Such snow lined trees
Slow southern lights bleed
And your veins glow with the radiance of a bursting storm cell
And you carried our son on your back in the rain
As the winds gathered all around you
And the fields began to sway for you
And the clouds, they wept for you
When the sky parted to reveal the moon
You left yourself to catch a train in the late afternoon
And you watched as you rolled away
From everything you knew
And your veins glow with the radiance of a bird that broke its wing
And you carried our son on your back in the rain
As the winds gathered all around you
And the fields began to sway for you
And the clouds, they wept for you
When the sky parted to reveal the moon
And the trees begin to sing their song to you
And the hurricane winds sweep their arms to you
And the clouds still cry their prayers out for you
Be careful, oh my sweet darling June...
And that fire burned down the barn we worked to build
And the home we had come to know was no longer made of love
And I begin to wonder
