New Year's Eve

Ahaverin

On Account Of Snow

At seventeen we were children
Couldn't even see ourselves
At twenty-one we were changing
Chasing after heaven knows
Twenty-five is the future
Schoolbound on the circle line
Thirty-six is my limit
Who's got time for so much time

Particles in motion as we are
The chain of consequence
Will wind us into one
In the end

Anita walks in the courtyard
Six years old unselfaware
Snowy birds in the treetops
Voices ringing everywhere
Twenty-five is the future
Homebound on the circle line
Only seers see the numbers
Scrolling in Anita's sky

Particles in motion as we are
The chain of consequence 
Will wind us into one
In the end

Rewire in a seed
Spiral into clouds
Tumble in the field
Wind us into one

Northern star I've finally found you
Draw near to me
Burn my eyes so I may see you
Draw near to me
Wind us into one
Draw near to me

Twenty Five Is The Future

Surrendering the circle of the skies
I wake into an all too yellow cram
Of life on death unripe to realize
The apple in the rowan tree I am...
