In the Deep of Winter Lyrics

In the deep of winter

An aching, a violence

No respite in silence

A song will endure

For words will choke every thought in the throat

But the melody waits for the soul, and lends hope

That patience we learn

By the bow and by the stern

A trust that tomorrow will lighten our load

Soften our sorrow, and future unfold

In the deep of winter

An aching, a violence

No respite in silence

A song will endure

By many names that noun has been known

By many more is it offered to us

Please understand that thing is your own

There's no right and no wrong to divide us

Whether hope, trust, or patience

Whether faith, dream, or belief

Whether granted by an almighty someone

Or heard in a series of beats

In the deep of winter

An aching, a violence

No respite in silence

A song will endure

In your deep dark winter

Where the skies have gone gray

When all warmth has eluded

And you've nothing to say

Then say nothing at all

But hum to the snowfall

Here's the thing about winter

It comes and then it goes

It pillages the insides and dribbles out the nose

And so song will outlast

The darkness will pass

As the melody grows

So the spring to the toes
