A winter lullaby waltz recorded in a walk-in closet in Colorado on a very windy day. Album art by Leah Nixon.
lyrics
north wind, it rouses the desolate beast of this land
but winter has brought us where no other mild season can
and the cold only warms me when you hold my hand
i'm just dying to see how this blizzard plays into my hand
daddy comes home to a fire that's crackling and warm
little ones playing and rolling around on the floor
and the snow covers worries of mine and of yours
and my heart skips a beat in the moment you pass through the door
baby makes faces and frowns when she's getting the blues
as far as i'm telling, there's not much for mamma to do
hold her close, keep her warm with your gentle hand too
she will fly from your arms before growing up into your shoes
