I looked out at all that prairie, and I felt that quiet power close for the season, the door won't open close for the season, but we made a vow they come the thaw in April We find our way back somehow close for the season, but not forever no bills don't stop in winter, the rent comes do all the same, but something in the waiting is how you hold your name, you keep the lights turned off now. You keep the key hunger, knowing everything you build here will still be standing when the spring is here. Close for the season, the door won't open now, close for the season, but we may come the thaw in April would find our way back somehow close for the season, but not forever, no forever.
