The Giant

The winter solstice came and went like a winter wind
Through your skin
And children played on snowy hills
Sliding down like winter wind
The coldness came and my breath left
(The giant came and warmth was cleft)
I need him now, The giant knows
The children play within the snow

I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now
Oh, I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now

The giant takes my hand
La di da, La di day
He's the only one that can save me

I fear this winter might kill us all
And end the story writ so far
Humanity came pretty close to heaven
But reach and fall short is something so familiar
It closes in on leaf, and stone, and mind
My heart doesn't let anything in

I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now
I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now

The giant takes my hand
Don't reach too high
Don't grip too tight
Just please keep me alive
An apocalypse isn't how I wish to die

The giant opens his garden
The giant lets the children in
A soft sow on a summer patch
And the cow licks the first man from the salt
Too many winter's ends began
However this winter never ends
Because the giant takes my hand
These wounds of love are selfishness
The children slide down the hill like winter wind

I take the giant's hand
La di da, La di day
I'm the only one that can save him

The giant lays down his head
La di da, La di day
His skull bleeds out the oceans
The apocalypse was just a new beginning

And I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now
No, I can't help but wonder whose garden it is now
