Lyrics
Bird of the blizzard,
Will you go snow-hunting with me?
Seek out the splinters of winter,
The last of the Ice Age?
Making a map of your moving,
Bird of the North
From glacier to tundra
In snowstorm and thunder
A map made of wonder
That tracks what's fading.
Cold has a memory
And its colour is blue
that memory's keeper
Is you, Bird of the North
The blue of snow's shadow,
Of dusk on the plateau
the winters are ending,
the waters are rising,
(a blue that has drenched me to my bones)

Bird of the blizzard,
Will you go snow-hunting with me?
Seek out the splinters of winter,
A turn of the last page, Bright bird of the Ice Age.
Bird of the blizzard,
Will you go snow-hunting with me?
(the waters are rising)
The climate is changing
The water is rising
The earth is getting warmer
