There is thunder in my footsteps And rhythm in my feet I’m like the shore lapping Where the waters meet And every day’s a sigh And every week I utter The same old words Against the window shutter And the house it creaks and groans With every passing wind The pain in my bones A sign that I have sinned And winter knows my name It comes howling in Only to give way To let spring begin And summer has its sound And autumn its flavour And every moment’s like a taste That I give in to savour As every month rolls round To make another year As I let go of all the lies And am freed from the fear
