Flour on his heavy sleeve
Dusk is here for him to leave
Malus pumila in white
Waiting for the winter light
Rest your head in silver snow
Where the frozen currents flow
Deep in loam and quiet clay
Wait until the break of day
Oven heat is fading fast
Heavy hours finally passed
Burlap sacks and copper pans
Resting now his tired hands
Rest your head in silver snow
Where the frozen currents flow
Deep in loam and quiet clay
Wait until the break of day
Prunus avens waits in line
Sleeping under frosted pine
Root and xylem hold the gold
While the midnight air turns cold
Sift the salt and knead the grain
Wash away the winter stain
One small spark of amber glow
Hidden where the berries grow
Rest your head in silver snow
Where the frozen currents flow
Deep in loam and quiet clay
Wait until the break of day
Close the gate and dim the glare
Frosty breath in velvet air
Patience is the only art
Beating in a baker's heart
Rest your head in silver snow
Where the frozen currents flow
Deep in loam and quiet clay
Wait until the break of day
Silver orchard sleep.
Sinking in the deep.
Silver orchard sleep.
