Old white oak and Malus root
Cold grey soil and frozen fruit
Wooden slats and rusted chain
Waiting for the April rain
Rocking slow through velvet white
Drifting in the purple light
Heavy wood on frozen grass
Watching all the winter pass
Pyrus branch in heavy sleep
Silver frost is burying deep
Wooden arms begin to sway
While the daylight fades away
Rocking slow through velvet white
Drifting in the purple light
Heavy wood on frozen grass
Watching all the winter pass
Prunus bloom is locked in ice
Cold wind cuts a sharp device
Sanded pine and weathered paint
Turning grey and growing faint
Dormant seeds in dark brown clay
Wait for heat of summer day
Slowing down the steady beat
Underneath the winter sheet
Heavy beams and steady glide
Nowhere left for ghosts to hide
Moving past the orchard wall
Where the heavy snowflakes fall
Rocking slow through velvet white
Drifting in the purple light
Heavy wood on frozen grass
Watching all the winter pass
Copper nails and linseed oil
Deep inside the winter soil
One last turn before the night
Fades away from human sight
Rocking slow through velvet white
Drifting in the purple light
Heavy wood on frozen grass
Watching all the winter pass
Slowing down the glide
Slowing down the ride Velvet white
Purple light
