"Winter Fields" lyrics

"Winter Fields"

Hurtling through heavy snow
Our hands are cold and the moon sets low
Little sister, let your sharp teeth show
Past winter fields

Stop the car by the old wire post
Scaredy rabbits make good paper ghosts
That lick the salt off the Sussex coast
And fall into winter fields

Rows of white
Spelled our escape in the old torch light
Oh mother, I'm scared to close my eyes
Some winter dreams make you dive and dive and dive down

In sub-zero I can't stand still
Colours of absence flooding the hill
In wonderment, I trip and spill
Through winter fields

Under the stairs taps the metronome
The diver's suit that we've all outgrown
I need to get to where the wild things roam
Through all of my winter dreams

Rows of white
Spelled our escape in the old torch light
Oh mother, I'm scared to close my eyes
Some winter dreams make you dive and dive and dive down
