Now you don't have a word to call this kind Of the year made you new and beg it to turn you right Two dead birds underneath the headlights Every sound they ever made to call out they are alive Every piece of me that breaks tryin' to keep from the sight Of doubt Don't you doubt Everybody's seen some winter Don't you take the dark way out Don't you doubt Even your breath is breathin' for another one Don't you just take the dark way out Thin wind ringin' in the silver tines Yeah it took you by the throat but it wasn't the killin' kind Now you don't tell it like you used to Every day left in the dark is gonna come back to you Every hope left in your heart is waitin' on what you'll do With doubt Don't you doubt Everybody's seen some winter Don't you take the dark way out Don't you doubt Even your blood is beatin' for another one Don't you just take the dark way out Don't you doubt Doubt The reasons are dead and they're growin' in the ground so why does it give why'd it take Why to've been kissed Why be mean why be anything Just be the man, be the child, be the cold midnight soaked in the bones of this town In the breath in the pink In the honey taken from that green thing given sweet In the cold in the pour In the want in the wantin' the sound even your own body knows All there is See the gem Your hands are lined with all that they ever have
