The second single of 2020 from Gripper Lee 3, alternative blues and folk rock experimentalists from East Sussex, UK. It's a mournful but joyous reflection on the changing seasons, and how death and decay bring new life.

lyrics

As the old year is finished
Before a new one begins
There's a point in the spiral
Where the veil grows thin
I feel now their presence
Amongst us again
For the departed
I tip my glass to the flames

And every end's a new beginning
Though it's hard to say goodbye
Every exit's just an entrance
To the other side
And everything that holds us here
To the fire must be consigned
Before our journey through the darkness
Back to summertime

The days now grow colder
Leaves fall from the trees
Our memories are older
A future harder to see
And our thoughts turn inwards
Now the dark time is here
To the path that we've travelled
Around the wheel of the year
