Clipped

written by Tanya Donelly

.


winter is on us
winter is watching us
cutting and quiet
winter is all over me

i got caught
on the wing
now i spin

i look down
for my feet and i see
i'm much higher than i thought i'd be

don't look down
don't look down

words about winter
pull you inside the cold
but the sun's never brighter
than when it's shining off snow

i got caught
on the wing
now i spin

i look down
for my feet and i see
i'm much higher than i thought i'd be

don't look down
don't look down

i've believed in one magic word
for so long now it must be true
but the soldier's god
isn't what i wanted
ooh...

and i think
i could drown in this drink

and i think
you don't know what i think

i got caught
on the wing
now i spin

i look down
for my feet and i see
i'm much higher than i thought i'd be
(i'm much higher than i thought i'd be)
i'm much higher than i thought i'd be

yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
yeah
