Beside a hole in your down coat pocket Is the note where you straightened your thoughts On the paint cracking dry that had once matched your eyes Lies the weight of my rusted post box
Keep your head on your heart Keep your heart from the cold When the last of the tears have fallen We will unfold
The ice on the grass is sounding Each footstep into the wood In the light of the whippoorwill winter I understood
Keep your head on your heart Keep your heart from the cold When the last of the years have fallen We will unfold
Oh, sweet summer sun You were my only one At dawn and dusk 'Til kingdom come The seasons change What's done is done
Keep your head on your heart Keep your heart from the cold In the light of the whippoorwill winter We will unfold
