Along shore and sea
Behold, step and bleed
Bandoleer of amethyst jettisons
Out through my periphery

I said to my baby I’d come back ‘fore the snow came in tonight
I’d be all right
I said to Gabriel, “Don’t you run to the dark for me”
It’s just one peak

Around ice and stone
These old winds ‘a blow
Black, petrified forest of mineral
Tread through the hours alone

I did my duty back home, I carried the things I could
I said I would
I promised Mary-Anne, “Don’t you run to the dark for me”
It’s just one peak

I sought to search this desolate land for any old meaning left
I did my best
I said to Abraham “Don’t you run to the dark for me”
It’s just one peak

I see that ol’ snow bustling right where my eyes meet sky
Oh me oh my
That snow’s been gathering swarms, I swear on these long sad days
The snow had legs
