Miranda Lee Richards - First Light of Winter lyrics

I've been travelin', down a dark road 'Goin' places that no one knows Now I'm ramblin' across the basin Tryin' to get back, but no one's waitin' Brace yourself for the First Light of Winter Grab the line before you hit the bottom There's a hunger, that's deep inside It's not polite; it won't apologize It's a wild beast that has its grip And it won't let go; make peace with it Brace yourself for the First Light of Winter Grab the line before you hit the bottom When the storm arrives, it's gotta' crazy eye It has no mercy until it dies Now I'm headin' north to Baton Rouge Where the ground is dry, and the sky is blue Brace yourself for the First Light of Winter Grab the line before you hit the bottom… And the levee's holding fast, they said it would last they promised Descending in your diving bell beneath the swell looking for solace But you had been down too long, you knew it was wrong but you felt helpless As the pressure starts to rise, it's a matter of time, you arrive… At the bottom Feelin' bad, feelin' better Gonna' stop, write a letter To the government, the powers that be I've been fightin' wars, in the name of peace Brace yourself in the first light of winter Grab the line before you hit the bottom… And the levee's holding fast, they said it would last they promised But you had been down so long, the pressure was strong, 'til you release it As your spirits start to rise make your way toward the light at the surface Now your comin' up for air the coast is clear You would survive this; now you're lawless; now you're fearless
