Bones Of Winter

G
Shivering cold
C
Cobblestone road
G           D            G
Slipping on diamonds and silver

G
A funeral for the leaves
C
A eulogy in the breeze
G              D        G
A hymn for the bones of winter

D
The geese have already
D
Buried their heads
G
And a full moon over mine
C
Tells me it's time
G                 D     G
To start thinking about hibernation

D
First snap in the night
D
And the first crack in the ice
G
Of the pond
G                           Em
And the first lights of the season

D
When the children have already
D
Buried their heads
G
It's quiet, alone,
C
cobblestone road
G             D             G
Waits for the first snow of December

G
A song for the dead leaves
C
The brine and the breeze
G              D        G
A poem for the bones of winter
