HARSH WINTER

William Core in the Civil War
planted 100 apple trees
stand today, only four
they're twisted remnants what they used to be

but this year those ugly branches
they were loaded, weighted down
that's a sign, that's a sign

of a harsh winter coming

I sit alone in this booth for two
I write down simple words for you
but you never heard of no William Core
or his 100 acres, or the Civil War

but you don't need him to tell you
just look at me sitting here alone
you'll see that it's a sign, gotta see a sign

of a harsh winter coming

and I know exactly how I got here
and I know exactly what went wrong
it were a silly game to play
but I thought it'd be okay
it seemed so long, so damn long ago

a stool away, see him frown
he got half a pitcher down
an old man with a gray beard
and a house tab and lonely ear

he stood up, put on his jacket
rubbed his back, and he moaned
he said "I feel it here when the weather turns cold
son I'm old and that's a sign
of a harsh winter coming"

and I know exactly how I got here ...
