[00:09.20]The back of the winter is broken
[00:13.16]And light lingers long by the door
[00:17.85]The seeds of the summer have spoken
[00:21.75]In gowans that bloom on the shore
[00:26.25]By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play
[00:30.51]And delight as the dawn dances over the bay
[00:35.35]Sleep blows the breath of the morning away
[00:41.59]And we follow the heron home
[00:48.33]In darkness we cradled our sorrow
[00:52.74]And stoked all our fires with fear
[00:56.79]These bones that lie empty and hollow
[01:01.46]Are ready for gladness to cheer
[01:05.58]By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play
[01:09.92]And delight as the dawn dances over the bay
[01:15.61]Sleep blows the breath of the morning away
[01:20.76]And we follow the heron home
[02:08.67]Long may you sing of the salmon
[02:12.82]And the snow-scented sound of your home
[02:17.01]While the north wind delivers its sermon
[02:21.54]Of ice and salt water and stone
[02:26.14]By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play
[02:30.57]And delight as the dawn dances over the bay
[02:36.26]Sleep blows the breath of the morning away
[02:41.57]And we follow the heron home
[02:43.03]By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play
[02:46.88]And delight as the dawn dances over the bay
[02:52.62]Sleep blows the breath of the morning away
[02:58.39]And we follow the heron home
