Verse 1 Ice on the glass, a winter day Watching the colors drain away A distant hill, a purple haze Lost in the beauty of the maze No sound at all, just wide and blue Waiting for something clear and new Chorus Oh, the eternal ember burns Where the spinning wheel finally turns Across the water, across the sand The quiet power of this land Stay with me, don't let it go This heat beneath the winter snow Verse 2 You look at me with eyes of glass Watching the heavy seasons pass A river runs through open fields To every truth that silence yields Hold the moment, hold the line A piece of yours, a piece of mine Chorus Oh, the eternal ember burns Where the spinning wheel finally turns Across the water, across the sand The quiet power of this land Stay with me, don't let it go This heat beneath the winter snow
