lyrics

Oh, mothers of mothers
Daughters of daughters
I see your hands in my own
While the veil is thin
And silently glimmering
It’s winter in the summer country

Did they make you work on birth after birth
Your lives they sit so heavy
I wish I could say
That everything’s changed
But it’s winter in the summer country

The trembling moon
The hare in the grass
Turn my palms up to the great sky and ask
How did you keep going? Can it be the same for me?
In this winter in the summer country

Oh, mothers of mothers
Daughters of daughters
Your cries in the night came true
Sing to me now
Let the wind carry through
This winter in the summer country

The trembling moon
The hare in the grass
Turn my palms up to the great sky and ask
How can I still feel you, though you are long gone?
And I hear your sighs across the wide dawn
Safe in the knowledge that you will live on
In this winter in the summer country
Winter in the summer country
Winter in the summer country
Summer country
