Calexico - Nature's Domain

Wondering what I've been holding on to
That's been causing the ice to give way
Winter's disguise has rendered me blind
I can't tell my dreams from the day
The wolf on the lawn is pointing to follow this way

Was it just in my head all those words
That were said so cold and somehow relieving
One foot off the ground the deer in the dawn
Has vanished just like the trail

Staring up into the darkness confusing the snowfall for stars
Alone with no prayers or reason
Accepting the fact that this will all pass
Cruel to the bone nobody's at home out hеre
In nature's domain

Was it all for naught all the lеssons we taught
So callous and bent on deceiving
The owl in the barn, spinning your yarn
While the dream is slipping away
