Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers - Winter lyrics

[Verse 1] Every time we sing this song An old man somewhere wrings his hands In sad frustration Will he never learn? [Verse 2] His tarry lungs don't feel the air Can't taste his ashen solace But he knows this fire, he let it burn And so will I [Verse 3] A mother births a grateful child In hopes that he will learn To love his happiness At least to say he's tried [Verse 4] But nature has her way with us And my poor brother Is not immune to providence He gives his hands away [Chorus] It's the same way we all have felt This poor petty pity of self The willing watch lust, so insatiable Teething on our pride forever [Bridge 1] There's the castle, and there's the King And Look, He's lost His Wedding Ring: All the world will have to Suffer Search the Forest, Search the Grounds Don't let Them rest until It's found: All the world will have to pay But not me. Ever Go! [Interlude] [Chorus] It's the same way we all have felt This poor petty pity of self The willing watch lust, so insatiable Teething on our pride forever [Bridge 2] The palace halls ring deadly quiet and all because of You In your abandonment, you cut their throats, you fool
