Memories Sustain Verse 1 A vacant dawn Abandoned lean-to. The bitter cold that cracks my paws. The men have gone, My fur would freeze through. Still many moons before the thaw. Bridge The pass will close And seal the bend With ten-foot snows You can't ascend. Verse 2 A plaintive howl, A primal twinge cued. The distant smell of canis raw. The sky descends in tiny igloos. I howl again amidst the squall. (bridge) Chorus Take me on your wings. To hope I claw and cling. Where sheltered winds are mild. Escape, I call it wild. The drifts enclose, but I remain To fight for life another day, To heal or not the broken reins. The memories sustain. (bridge) (chorus)
