"Settler's Bend" lyrics

It's cold and lonely
I've not forgot that
But let's observe here
One silver frame
It speaks to stillness
Look out the window

Into the dark, into the dark
And see the moon, a memory, a dream
There's a chilling of the air
It used to be sad
It doesn't have to be

I'm setting out past Settler's Bend
But I'll return to you
We'll meet again
I have a ten day passage planned
Discovery
To clear my head
And if the agents of ill-intent reach out to me
I won't show my hand
My ground I'll stand

Let's take a walk where
The path is open
Our guide's a feeling
The wind it blows
Past ponds of romance
And of foreboding

Into the dark
Into the dark
Into the fall, the fantasy, the free
The valleys were so low
Until we got to that bridge
That's where I'm gonna be

I'm heading out, I embark on my own
I have to find the light
And bring it home
I made a mark at the end of the road
I'll get back to you
This much I know
I've traced the treeline and braved the snow
And I've straightened up
When the job is done
It's time to go

I'm setting out past Settler's Bend
I'm setting out past Settler's Bend
I'm setting out past Settler's Bend...
