Winter Song #1 - Chris Garneau

I lied to mother, protecting him though

He stuck my foot in a fishing hole

Snow mounted up to the kitchen window

I never told

No footprints to follow to grandmother’s stone

And it’s all covered in the snow

Our bodies made angels

They lay in this grove with halos

I’ve walked in the cold

But winter gets older

Though in spring I was crying within

Sticking up for my brother

He was older but he’s gone now

He went cold
