lyrics

(ravens over the treeline)
(the well is frozen shut)

I break the ice that seals the well
Sparks fly white off frozen stone
This winter was my only hell
And I was in it all alone
(the ice gives — crack)

What froze in me is moving now
(moving now)
The river remembers how

I am the thaw
I am the thaw
(the mountain bleeds its snow)
What buried me will feed the spring
I am the thaw
I am the thaw

I tap the birch and drink it raw
Sweet meltwater stings my jaw
The pines shrug off their snow at last
Green fists unclench from winter's grasp
(the forest exhales)

I am the thaw
I am the thaw
(the mountain bleeds its snow)
What buried me will feed the spring
I am the thaw
I am the thaw

Under the ice, the water never slept
(never slept)
Neither did I. Neither did I.

I am the thaw
I am the thaw
(the mountain bleeds its snow)
What buried me will feed the spring
I am the thaw
I am the thaw

(meltwater in the well)
(a raven answers)
