northern winds came wistling through evergreens   like trains   one temper broods 'till a temperature breaks   and blooms-smashing and tearing what we've worked toward   one hand will break what he other hand builds      board the windows up   keep the cellar locked   we'll feign restraint until it's over and settled   our wills are just as strong as the walls we built for them   i won't rebuild what i have crumbled   i'm tired      what is faith- it's been replaced by insurance policies   when one thing breaks we'll just have in replaced   like faith... once whistled through the trees   now so still    one hand will break what the other hand builds      board up the windows   keep the cellar locked   you never know when little fevers- could flare up   for every day when it's calm, there must be something brewing   there's always something storming through these evergreens    like trains      northern winds came crashing and burning down our walls.
