Mind of Winter

As I set sail for parts unknown There was weather everywhere And a pretender on the throne As I looked back, I lost track and could not find One silver tongued pleaser who could rise to the times I meant to find out who I'd be If you hadn't put the words on me I'm going where I need to go I had to grow up and throw away Your maps and geography When I come back, if I come back I swear that I'll be simpler When I come back, if I come back I'll have a mind of winter I'll have a mind of winter No land in sight and lost at sea There was blame in the fog And fingers pointing back at me I fell to my knees among the birds and the dying bees And tried to find my tongue to trace the maiden name of god I draped myself in nature's wounds To see if I could hear the tune I don't know what I need to know Just gotta grow up and throw away Your deadly philosophy When I come back, if I come back I swear that I'll be simpler When I come back, if I come back I'll have a mind of winter I'll have a mind of winter I'll have a mind of winter
