I've been weary for a long time Since the final breath of summer left my throat I've been weary for a long time Since the air turned cold I've been weary for a long time Watch the leaves fall, I'm more stuck here than the trees I've been weary for a long time Since last winter, still longing to be free And I know, I'll always be, no matter where I go Gonna be free just to be tied to another unknown I've been growing for a long time Since the very first winter when I was born I've been working for a long time And this winter I am still so young I've been fearful for a short time Getting closer to the future and beyond I've been fearful for a short time But I've been weary for so long And I know, I'll always be, no matter where I go Gonna be free just to be tied to another unknown Or I'll be weary for a long time I'll be weary till the day I die
