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 hard won but I found my place Oh, it was hard won but I found my place And all I could wish upon you is the same It was hard won 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 But as wide and still as you can take With a gladness you just can't shake Down by that cold, clear lake
