Tundre, Carry Me Slowly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Frost gathers along the window frame A kettle clicks, then goes quiet again Your coat is folded on the kitchen chair I say your name to the empty air [Pre-Chorus] Beyond the pines, the white fields turn Every path is a lesson learned [Chorus] Tundre, carry me slowly Past the places we used to know Tundre, keep something for me A small warm mark beneath the snow [Verse 2] The road sign leans where the river bends Paint peeled thin from a hundred winds I keep one match in a silver tin For the night I finally let you in [Pre-Chorus] The northern sky begins to clear What I was running from disappears [Chorus] Tundre, carry me slowly Past the places we used to know Tundre, keep something for me A small warm mark beneath the snow [Bridge] If the thaw comes late, I will wait With both hands open at the gate No map, no promise, no reason why Just your old blue scarf and the widening sky [Final Chorus] Tundre, carry me slowly Past the places we used to know Tundre, leave a light for me Where the frozen rivers open slow [Outro] A small warm mark beneath the snow
