Ice Storming

Oh the news you bring

How it changes things

I could say it'll be all right

But I don't mean it right now

The hospital lights up and everyone comes back

They're here for the coming thaw and cracks in the ice

From cracks in the ice

The deer and I will stay to witness the beauty

of petrified trees caught in the freeze

Every mile is numb

They captured everyone warming our hands in the candlelight

The power went out

We walked around the house trying to find a bed

To quiet our heads

And listen for cracks in the ice

We part a branch to find

Our world's been crystallized

And some of the ones you see

are the ones who snare your dreams

And some of those fallen things

are strangely comforting to me

The deer and I will stay to witness the beauty

Suspended in still life no matter how scary

And every mile is numb

We captured everyone warming our hands in the candlelight

The power went out

We walked around the house trying to find a bed

To quiet our heads
