The Day Has Come [Hibernation Song]

from Hibernaculum by Lewis Mullen

/

lyrics

The day has come, the season has turned
It's time you made your bed
Fill up on fuel, slow down and cool
And rest your weary little head

Winter is the coldest time of year
Food so scarce and weather so cruel
But you’re nobody’s fool
Millennia of change have led you here

Your bed of leaves and twigs is nearly done
Food so scarce and weather so harsh
The hedgerow’s like a marsh
As rain and snow clouds cover up the sun

The day has come, the season has turned
It's time you made your bed
Fill up on fuel, slow down and cool
And rest your weary little head

Winter is the barest time of year
Food so scarce and weather so wild
When once again it’s mild
You’ll be back for summer time is here

Now you’re full and ready for your rest
Food so scarce and weather shut out
The rain runs down the spout
But you won’t notice cosy in your nest

The day has come, the season has turned
It's time you made your bed
Fill up on fuel, slow down and cool
And rest your weary little head

Sleep little ones, sleep and more
Find your centre, find your core
Hibernation is the door
From winter into spring

Sleep little ones, sleep so deep
May the goddess bless and keep
Til the springtime birdies cheep
Abroad and on the wing

Winter is the leanest time of year

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
