If you ask the old frost bitten branches all that they know
Their response would be long as the winters of ages since gone
When old man winter he came, brushed young leaves with silver
And of all his sounds, one sound I remember
He said, “son delight in all the simple ways”
My roots have known one place
My children stand at my feet
At my feet
In the barn lay the old haystack sleeper the farmer had shown him
To his loft to share tales of the treelines, and all that they’d told him
When old bows splinter and fall and men shall grow clever
But the words of the winter stand tall and mark us with weather
He said, “son delight in all the simple ways
All comes trickling, comes trickling,
Honey trickling, comes trickling
Wise words trickling, comes trickling
Honey trickling, comes trickling
Oh wise words like silver
Oh honey and silver
