Track Insight / Lyrics
You roll across the frozen white
Beneath a sliver of the light
A rusted handle, bent and old
Sinking deep in winter cold
The apple trees are stripped and bare
Cold air biting through the air
You slide along the silver rime
Counting out the heavy time
Oh, you drift through the orchard snow
Where the bitter north winds blow
Rusty metal, hollow sound
Sinking slow into the ground
The paint is peeling off your side
With nowhere left for you to hide
You spin around a frozen root
Near a fallen, shriveled fruit
The apple trees are stripped and bare
Cold air biting through the air
You slide along the silver rime
Counting out the heavy time
Oh, you drift through the orchard snow
Where the bitter north winds blow
Rusty metal, hollow sound
Sinking slow into the ground
The evening turns a bruised purple
Moving in a steady circle
You carry nothing but the frost
Everything you held is lost
Steel and iron, red and brown
Weighted by a winter crown
Wait for spring to break the seal
Wait for warmth to touch the steel
Oh, you drift through the orchard snow
Where the bitter north winds blow
Rusty metal, hollow sound
Sinking slow into the ground
The stars appear in rows of gray
The dying light just fades away
You find a place to finally rest
Leaning on the valley's chest
Oh, you drift through the orchard snow
Where the bitter north winds blow
Rusty metal, hollow sound
Sinking slow into the ground
Sinking slow.
The iron pale.
