Stepped out through the ? nights, took care in the common light
Cathedral bells ringing down, branches blooming all through town
And in my ears a steady ring kept me moving towards the spring
It was a long, long cold year, but I think it's all becoming clear

I thought it through, I think I want it too
When I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air

Came sudden like a southern wind, like Santa Ana's blowin' in
A pheasant's feather for your thoughts, I sent 'em shooting with your buck-shot
We listened for sounds out there, raised our knives out of fear
It was a long, long and cold year, but I think it's all becoming

I thought it through, I think I want it too
'Cause I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air

Stepped out through the ? nights, took care in the common light
Cathedral bells ringing down, branches blooming all through town
And in our ears a steady ring kept us moving towards the spring
It was a long, long cold year, but the thaw is finally hear

I thought it through, I'm sure I want it too
And I saw you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
I see you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
I see you there upon your chair, in the light of winter's air
Your emerald eyes and raven hair, in the light of winter's air
