I stand here shivering a little in the cold
Gazing out where the earth's secrets unfold
Park like lines stretch under the sky so white
Simple beauty in the shadows they hide

(CHORUS)
Casting shades of varying light
Not insignificant what the finch might find
Hidden treasures in the earth's embrace
Yet they fall away from the walls I've made

Nuts lay burrowed in small knolls below
Whispers of life in the quiet snow
The world reveals what my heart denies
Treasures waiting under open skies

Those rock wall I've built standing tall and gray
Keep the light off push the warmth away
But in the cold I see it clear
The simple beauty drawing near

(CHORUS)
Casting shades of varying light
Not insignificant what the finch might find,
Hidden treasures in the earth's embrace
Yet they fall away from those walls I've made.

And fade away...
