about

A simple tale about the tense relationship between one man and winter. Beguiled by his own idea of the season and what it represents, but well aware of what really awaits, he slowly comes to find that the choice to leave isn’t necessarily as clear as he first thought.

lyrics

Tell me why do birds
Suddenly disappear
Gone in a gust of feathers and dust
Every time she draws near,
She is a maiden with ice
In her smile and in her eyes
She gave us goosebumps, chilblains, and such
She gave us loving with a northerly touch, yeah

Her moods were lovely, dark and deep
Her voice was crystal as she sang the world to sleep

Let’s go south for the winter
Gonna take our chance with the sun
She can hang here - Lady Chill
Keep an eye on things while we’re gone

The final geese cut the sky
In a V flicked at me as they fly
It's not unfair - the cupboard was bare, and
The golden goose made a pukka pie
But now we’re left eating crow
The taste is bitter I know
Kickin' leaves as the summer grieves
Pretty soon we'll be kickin' snow

We knew she'd freeze us out some day
She is as she does, she can't be no other way

So let’s go south for the winter
Gonna take our chance with the sun
She can hang here - Lady Chill
Keep an eye on things while we’re gone

Let’s go south for the winter
Gonna find some sun and make hay
She can hang here - Bad Weather
Cat’s gonna play while the mice are away

Let’s go south for the winter
Gonna take our chance with the sun
She can hang here - Lady Chill
Keep an eye on things while we’re gone

Yeah, we’re gone til the summer
Gonna head south til we find
The days in the sun that we used to live for
The days in the sun that we left behind
Gonna head south til we leave her behind
If you see her, tell her we gone south
