lyrics

You shed your coat long ago, and traded for covers of snow.
You shed your coat long before the frost came biting at the cold, brown floor.

She silenced your melodies; melodies of color singing, singing through your leaves.
Her breath froze your poetry; poetry of wind tickling, tickling your leaves.

Her fingers hold on tight, Sprinkling all with white.
But her grip can never reach your mighty roots anchored in the deep.

----------------------

In winter's light, I tried to fight, when all I needed was to rest.
In winter's light, I tried to fight, when all I needed was to trust.
Oh to trust!
Oh I trust.

----------------------

I'm waiting for your melodies of color coming in the springtime.

Jacob Goins Brasstown, North Carolina

Jacob Goins is a poet who dresses his words in delicate melody, carefully designed. Born and raised in the Appalachians, Jacob fashions folk music that shares the gentleness, the rise and fall, and the golden peacefulness of the North Carolina mountains.

In every humble effort, he strives to make art that doesn’t sing over the quiet, but rather sings with it.
