about

From "None The Worse For Wear" (2012)

lyrics

The temperature is dropping
The temperature is dropping
And the ground is going to frost.
The sun is hiding
The sun, he is hiding
And the ground is slowly tempest-tossed.
The glacier is coming
The glacier is coming
And when she comes, she will change everything.
And when she comes,
And when she comes
You just might hear me sing

That everything's transforming all the time
From the waters we swim to the hills we climb
Everything's transforming all the time, time

The snow is falling
The snow is falling
Gonna wrap this city in its long white coat
The sea is receding
The sea is receding
And the ground is rushing up to meet my boat
The glacier is coming
The glacier is coming
Her hands will move the dirt beneath my skin
And when she comes
And when she comes
She will change every place I've ever been

And everything's transforming all the time
From the waters we swim to the hills we climb
Everything's transforming all the time, time

She's coming!
