about

This is the second single from J P Worsfold's 2022 release November Hotel.

lyrics

East wind turns the trees to red and gold
Wild geese know they're homeward bound
You can feel their wings aching
For a journey to be taken
Apple tree lays his burden to the ground

Now a frost lays on the hawthorn
Shrouding rusted jewels upon her boughs
Robin darts between oak and March
Blackbird class then last notes on the Autumn

After the show where do we run to?
Our broken night's must come to day
Before this ends I'll turn my collar to the end
All night must come to day in the end

A winter's sky to cast a shadow
Shorter than the hours in the day
The dawn is past breaking
Soon daylight is fading
New life hangs upon a change in the breeze

After the show where do we run to?
Our broken night's must come to day
Before this ends I'll turn my collar to the end
All night must come to day in the end

Cuckoo calls to break the silence
Of a hundred muted days
If the wind is right it'll make that call take flight
And may those notes be the first of the Spring

After the show where do we run to?
Our broken night's must come to day
Before this ends I'll turn my collar to the end
All night must come to day in the end

May that first band of gold
Free these lands from the cold
May the first rains of April
Wash away these winter bones

After the show where do we run to?
Our broken night's must come to day
Before this ends I'll turn my collar to the end
All night must come to day in the end
