Country song

We'll dun sing the sun up

I'll spin words into gossamer web
Do I make myself understood?
And before I've gone and dun, we'll have sung up the sun
But I'm not convinced it's doin' any good.

It's windy in the winter and I'll tell 'ya
If you whisper, it might slip away
So sip your stars and listen here real closely
To the words that I'm a gonna' say

The winter weather closely guards its secrets
I just can't read against bright blue sky
It's got no tells, the winter might be bluffing
There's lots of room in bitter cold for lies

It's windy in the winter and I'll tell 'ya
If you whisper, it might slip away
So sip your stars and listen here real closely
To the words that I'm a gonna' say

Come over to mine, I'll feed
You stardust, and I hope you'll find
It sparkly, my mother taught me to feed
My guests the best, now don't you mind

Trap fluffy white clouds
Like tea leaves in the leavings
Of your tea, don't trust but listen here:
The sky, she knows you're grieving

It's windy in the winter and I'll tell 'ya
If you whisper, it might slip away
So sip your stars and listen here real closely
To the words that I'm a gonna' say

I saw you 'cross a crowded room in Texas
And again in bitter cold Vermont
Looked over my shoulder, felt a little colder
Like you were the only ghost I'd want

If only I could read your eyes like tea leaves
If only my future was wrote in your
Palms and I could know where you was gunna go
I'd follow you to every winter shore

It's windy in the winter and I'll tell 'ya
If you whisper, it might slip away
So sip your stars and listen here real closely
To the words that I'm a gonna' say

Met your eyes and did a little two step
Around the clean and cold and stark white room
You turned and walked away to where I cannot say
But I know I'm a gunna see you soon

If only you could leave a little locket
With coiled tresses of your night black hair
And folded tight within, a game I cannot win
A code that says you dun' gone anywhere

It's windy in the winter and I'll tell 'ya
I've shouted so that I hoped you might hear
So sip your stars and listen here real closely
Come back soon to somewhere warm and near.
