In the air, first scent of snow
All along the ground the last milkweed silk blows
Nobody's ever going to tell you what they don't want to know
No
Nobody's ever going to tell you for they wish it was not so, better not to know
It was hardwon, but I found my place
It was hardwon but I found my place
All I could wish upon you is the same
It was hardwon, but I found my place
And as soon as it's found, I knew it would change
I turned around and everything was strange
Nobody's ever going to tell you, for they wish it weren't the case
Once lost, not a trace
But you could find yourself down by a lake
About as wide and still as you can take
With a gladness you just can't shake
Down by that cold, clear lake
