[Verse 1] Frost on the fence posts Last breath of the cold Steam from my mouth Like stories getting old Snow slips from branches Dark earth showing through Tiny green question Breaking into view [Chorus] This is the thaw The turning of the ground Sunlight spilling Spilling Pouring down Every quiet seed remembers how to sing Winter lets go And we rise with the spring [Verse 2] Puddles on sidewalks Mirror the pale sky Boot prints and bird tracks Crisscross as they try First bud on brick walls Reaching through the seam Color in grayscale Sharpening the dream [Chorus] This is the thaw The turning of the ground Sunlight spilling Spilling Pouring down Every quiet seed remembers how to sing Winter lets go And we rise with the spring [Bridge] Breathe in the bright air (oh) Hear all the closed hearts creak and swing Doors that were frozen Open on rusted hinges Then they fling Wide to the warm wind Wide to whatever it brings [Chorus] This is the thaw The turning of the ground Sunlight spilling Spilling Pouring down Every quiet seed remembers how to sing Winter lets go And we rise with the spring
