A Long Year Songtext
von Matthew and the Atlas

Love, I know, it's been a long, long year.
What we lived in the flicker of the light.
I hung those feathers like hair upon your shoulder.
Best not untethered our bodies to the ground

Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope,
Cradled by the dawn,
The afterglow, a mothers' love,
A deer trail in the snow.

I keep the static playing on the radio,
You move through the room,
With a misty halo.


Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope,
Cradled by the dawn,
The afterglow, a mothers' love,
A deer trail in the snow.
And we unfold to the edge of it,
A crimson sky hangs low,
A rush of blood, a ... blow,
A deer trail in the snow.

Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope,
Cradled by the dawn,
The afterglow, a mothers' love,
A deer trail in the snow.
And we unfold to the edge of it,
A crimson sky hangs low,
A rush of blood, a ... blow,
A deer trail in the snow.

Love, I know, it's been a long, long year.
