Lyrics
Drawn from Orion, we bend
Referring to celestial imagery, starting a journey or connection.
While picking you up through
Collecting or embracing someone during a transition.
The last days of autumn
Approaching the end of a season, possibly symbolic of change.
Climbing the steps to your bed
Moving towards intimacy or comfort, represented by a bed.
The drifts building upwards
Accumulation, likening snowdrifts to cards on a table.
Like cards on a table
Symbolic comparison of life events unfolding.
Towards home
Heading towards a familiar place, possibly home.
Oh, winter takes me four hours away
Expressing the distance winter creates, possibly emotional or physical.
Pick through the pines
Searching through challenges or obstacles, represented by pines.
Where we met my grandfather
Recalling a meeting place with a connection to family history.
He told me you looked quite the same
Receiving a comparison or observation about a person's appearance.
Your coat filled with burs
Describing someone's coat filled with clinging elements.
And we grinned at the thought of it.
Sharing a joyful moment or realization.
Saying we know you'll be safe
Expressing confidence in someone's safety.
The sun howling down
Describing intense sunlight during a journey.
On your path to the bottom
Navigating a challenging path, possibly metaphorical.
Towards home
Heading towards a familiar place, possibly home.
Time won't change
Emphasizing a constant or unchanging aspect related to attention.
That you never looked away
Highlighting continuous observation without diversion.
If you pass so unexpectedly
Addressing the unexpected passing of someone.
And when we travel where you go
Traveling to places connected with the person through challenging conditions.
Through several weeks of snow to see
Reflecting on a journey through a snowy landscape.
Backwards inside the lines
Reversing or revisiting past experiences.
And you sit by my side as I read
Sharing a moment of shared activity, possibly reading together.
The forest where we had just to leave you now
Leaving behind a forest, possibly metaphorical, with mixed feelings.
Oh, summer brings us back from far away
Return from a distant place, associated with summer.
Soaked to the bone
Being wet but still overlooking a significant area, possibly symbolic.
Overlooking the garden
Observing growth or change in a familiar place.
And though all words may have changed
Acknowledging change in communication or expression.
You're picking me up by
Reciprocal support or connection during a seasonal transition.
The turn of the autumn
Turning towards autumn, possibly signifying a cyclical journey.
