Frozen Fields of Snow

I was born some time ago
 In this very room
 
 There's many who have come and gone
 There's may be one more soon
 Seasons come and seasons go
 Some tanking in between
 I'm looking through the window now
 At all that I have been
 Someone is singing some crazy song
 On the paint strained radio
 My hands they are wringing as I gaze upon
 These frozen fields of snow
 My father was a violent man
 He died in '63
 My mother broke her silence then
 And she looked after me
 We dug a deep well for water
 She told me water makes you free
 She lost her only daughter
 Her name was Mary-Lee
 They called me up and threw me in
 And there I lost my heart
 I forget where I have been
 Till wake up in the dark
 I heard a voice saying you're going home
 As my blood began to flow
 My mama was calling and beckoning
 From the frozen fields of snow
 Something out there's going to ground
 Lying under open skies
 Birds of prey come swooping down
 Picking at their eyes
 Springtime in coming and it's none too soon
 It's time for me to let it go
 I can see color green poking throungh
 Through these frozen fields of snow
 My secrets are whispering in this fading light
 I have killed and I have loved
 Time it will decide
