about

what kind of symbolism???

lyrics

where do the bees go when the winter comes
i think they fly some place far
i dont have solid proof yet but when the snow melts
and they arent there below it, ill know for sure

i think theyre coming back later
they just have to get out of this place
to shove my cold hands under the covers
or press them to your face

how much am i risking, im always risking it all
it seems
dont you think i would have answered
if i know what it means

where do the crickets go when the winter comes
i think theyre deep under the yard
theyre waiting for the thaw to come out
and sing me another song

i think theyre coming back soon dear
dont you fret they just need a break
to turn off the ringer and cry for a while
or to see how much more i can take

how much am i risking, im always risking it all
it seems
dont you think i would have answered
if i know what it means

where do the swallows go when the winter comes
i think theyre out to sea
tying their wiry legs to anchors
paying their tribute to me

id say theyll be back, but im not so sure
by the guesome note that they left
to make the hard choice or to let it
cycle over again

how much am i risking, im always risking it all
it seems
dont you think i would have answered
it i know what it means
