French For Rabbits - The Weight of Melted Snow Lyrics

In the south it is dark but it's hard to imagine them sleeping, when here in the north, I can't hear the through the noise of the bodies all moving and breathing.
And the breaking of bread, the toil and the sweat.
In the south it is quiet, all the bodies are still in their beds. Save for a few who can't find their rest and those who awake with dreams troubling them.

Sadness steals my body, fills my bones.
A careless lark, a heavy moan.
Peter pick her up or let her go.
Her wings are but the weight of melted snow.
Bird, I need your help, how do I know?

In the east it is dawn, and the seas are all pulling and heaving, and the seagulls are wheeling, the sailors are hauling up the catch before sailing in.
In the west is dusk, and the lights in the kitchen are glowing, and the smells wafting out on the streets tell a story. Peering through the windows of each passing building.

Sadness steals my body, fills my bones.
A careless lark, a heavy moan.
Peter pick her up or let her go.
Her wings are but the weight of melted snow.
Bird, I need your help, how do I know?
