Snowmelt pools in the footprints of shadows

Shadows soft where the cold light goes

Old echoes hum in the hollows

Winter keeping what winter knows

Down the road Orpheus wandered

Up the road Persephone climbs

Loss and bloom share the doorway

Meeting in the early light

Let the cold release

Let the green return

Let the worn-down path awaken

Let the newness rise again

Spring moves through the heartbreak trail wild

But it won't bring back what winter took from you

Let the cold release

Let the green return

Let the worn-down path awaken

Let the newness rise again

Spring moves through the heartbreak trail wild

But it won't bring back what winter took from you

Future colors reach without question

Lifting as though the dark won't call

Roots remember what she can't outrun

And she rises knowing she'll return this fall

Let the cold release

Let the green return

Let the worn-down path awaken

Let the newness rise again

Spring moves through the heartbreak trail wild

But it won't bring back what winter took from you
