Ensign Broderick - Winter's Journey Lyrics

She was sixteen dreaming of stage doors
Snowhard laneway where the show unfolds
Lips so blue and blazed
We’re going downtown took the last train home
Sad with kindness underdressed and overblown

The smile slid off her face
We are closer than this flesh
Now floating past death
We can laugh into this love
Love reclaims us in shared blood
I’m in the subway blowing back the years
Platform edges screams into your ears

Let me tell you what we are
In transit afar
The sweetest joy that ever was
You laughing in love
It’s the thing that shapes these words
Words seldom now heard
Sky blackened by birds
