Winter Song

Well, I can't say that I miss my old dog much Yet, I've never looked back since I left home long ago But I hoped a trip into the country Would help remind me all the things I used to know That's what I came for That's what I hoped for There once was good blood in the breeze here We rode across the lake each new year What have I remembered? What did this used to be? The ice, it used to shine upon our river It was a mirror that the cold dark water Ran away deep beneath And here were many years of winter drownings I kept track of these things as they were told to me That's what I came for That's what I hoped for There once was good blood in the breeze here We rode across the lake each new year What have I remembered? What did this used to be? The changes of the year were once a blessing But this year they're the seasons of my discontent But I cannot rewrite my old diaries I can only recall all the things that came and went That's what I came for That's what I hoped for There once was good blood in the breeze here We rode across the lake each new year What have I remembered? What did this used to be? What have I remembered? What did this used to be?
