Vardo Ruin lyrics

Cast against a winter sky

Its grey sky uniformly clad

Met the white plain land

The stubble of corn relics

They poke through the snow

Walking to warm the body

To distract a somber mood

A stand of trees distant, clear

An island remnant of a forest

The winds exploit its sparsity

The day's hues of bland cold

There alone in wilderness

Shedding still the weather

The vestiges of a vardo

It lies in ruin rejected

An air of wonderment there

Its cut of a past wanderer

A time before civilization yet

When the land was forests

And each day too, uncertain

The relics speak of lives ago

That hewed the forest primeval

Its lumber spanned barn, a home

No nails, but pegs and sound

That stood tribute for ages

The generations progressed

Children plentiful, cold nights

They grew up and went away

Left the farm 'til none did stay

Forsaken to the elements then

Now, none but memories remain

The house, the barn, that vardo

They are all gone, gone from sight

Kept near, in the vardo of the mind

Traveling on, drifting through time
