The Winter Birds Lyrics

Not everybody goes

Not everyone will stay

When the first cold wind blows

Triggers a tempered melee

Not everyone will go

Some will stay with us

But when the first snowflake falls

You'll witness a mass exodus

We're living in the valley of the winter birds

We're living through the valley of the winter birds

It's cold in the valley of the winter birds

It's lonely in the valley of the winter birds

Shutters closed

doors boarded, mind the latches

When the first frost hits

Time to batton down the hatches

(And fly)

While the snowbirds fly

The Winter birds nest

'Til Phil sees his shadow

We're gonna hope for the best

(And cry)

The cold winds bite and the blizzards come

Ceilings crack, pipes break, electric's gone

The kerosene burns out, as we're buried under the snow

The sun provides no warmth and the water stops its flow

We're living in the valley of the winter birds

We're safe in the valley of the winter birds

We're home in the valley of the winter birds

We're together in the valley of the winter birds
