Cold wind hits the rusted spoke
Grey sky turns to charcoal smoke
Pyrus malus sleeps in white
Chasing down the dying light
Pedal hard through frozen clay
Wait for winter's pale decay
Hold the breath and feel the chill
Everything is standing still
Silver wheels and frozen gold
Stories that the branches hold
Ride the line of velvet blue
Waiting for the light to break through
Deep in soil the secrets keep
Prunus roots are buried deep
Cold dew on the leather seat
Rhythm of the rolling beat
Pedal hard through frozen clay
Wait for winter's pale decay
Hold the breath and feel the chill
Everything is standing still
Silver wheels and frozen gold
Stories that the branches hold
Ride the line of velvet blue
Waiting for the light to break through
Latin names for every leaf
Winter brings a quiet grief
Watch the frost on every stem
Nature wears a frozen gem
Copper bells and heavy brass
Slicing through the winter glass
Wide open road and open sky
Watch the heavy clouds drift by
Silver wheels and frozen gold
Stories that the branches hold
Ride the line of velvet blue
Waiting for the light to break through
Dusk is falling on the lane
Wash away the winter stain
Spokes are humming low and sweet
Where the earth and heaven meet
Silver wheels and frozen gold
Stories that the branches hold
Ride the line of velvet blue
Waiting for the light to break through
White orchard gold.
Just ride it home.
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
