Northern Winds Songtext
von Cursive

Northern winds
Came whistling through evergreens
Like trains
One tender root ′til the temperature breaks
And roots
Smashing and tearing
What we've worked on
One hand will break what the other hand builds

Board the windows up
Keep the cellar locked
We′ll feign restraint until it's over
And settled
Our wills are just as strong
As the walls we built for them
I won't rebuild what I have crumbled
I′m tired, tired


What is faith?
It′s been replaced by insurance
Policies
Once one thing breaks, just have it replaced
Like faith
Once whistled through the trees
And now so slow
One hand will break what the other hand builds

Board the windows up
And keep the cellar locked
You never know when little fevers
Could flare up
For every day that's calm
There must be something brewing
There′s always something storming
Through these evergreens
Like trains

Northern winds came
Northern winds came crashing
And burning down our wills
