A Winter's Morning

Take me out in the dead of the morning
While the sky is dark as night
People asleep are missing this moment
It's just you and me and that's alright
Will we smell the loamy fragrance?
Will we hear for miles and miles?
Can we aggressively live in this moment?
I'm catching my breath, but that's alright
Nature whispers secret stories
Magpie calls her warning sounds
A thousand dramas play before us
It's you and it's me and that's alright
Frost in the air and it smells like winter
Bruise of the sky as the light creeps in
Shock of the elf caps painted vermillion
Happening now and that's alright

Glory, glory, glory, glory
Glory of a winter's day
Glory, glory, all is glory
Here's you and me and that's ok

Take me out on a blustery morning
Feeling so buoyant with the rain in my eyes
Can we ferociously run in a circle?
I'm just letting go if that's alright
Snuffling under the brambles and bracken
I smell a deer, it can't have gone far
Lolloping over the feathery grasses
Now I can't see you, that's alright
Nature whispers secret stories
See the beetle scurry away
A thousand dramas play before us
I don't think you saw, but that's ok
Smell of the woods is so unfamiliar
Is there a fox path hidden away?
Will you look up in this epic cathedral?
You never look up, but that's ok

Glory, glory...

Take me out on a rimy morning
While the moon is still high in the sky
Can we faster? I want to go faster
Why you so slow, hey that's alright
Sharp of the cold is stealing my cosy
Crisp of the leaves are brown underfoot
Sticking my nose in the nettles is spicy
Won't do that twice, but that's alright
Nature whispers secret stories,
Spider's web is covered in dew
Thousand dramas quietly unfolding
Like you and like me and that's ok
Crows are calling their ominous screeches
Dead wood damp in its limey decay
It's cold and it's muddy and everything's brilliant
It's you and it's me and that's ok

Glory, glory...

Your head is bowed as we wander the meadow
You don't even notice I brought you a branch
Your face is lit with a digital halo
Your mind is trapped in the devil's trance
How can a creature be so disconnected?
It's the same oxygen filling our lungs
Can we aggressively live in this moment?
I won't let you down, I promise you that
Nature wants to sing your story
Why do you hide your eyes away?
Dissociate from all your connections
Until it's just you inside your mind
Will you be the man with no answers?
Will you be the boy on the hill?
Come and join the dance of the hungry
Hungry for life and that's alright

Glory, glory...
