Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ll take you to the tundra
I’ll take you to the white snows
I’ll lay a white bearskin
At your feet
We’ll hurry through the frostbite
Past the drift and the dark trees
With our breath like little lanterns
In the cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the ice go under
Soft as broken glass
Keep your hand in mine now
We’re going fast
To the rim of everything
To the last clear line
Where the world turns over
And leaves us behind
[Chorus]
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Take my hand, my love
To the edge we go
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Lose our names
Where the white winds blow (bearskin in snow)
[Verse 2]
Your boots leave little commas
In the powder at our heels
And the sky hangs low and heavy
Like a silver seal
I can hear the far wolves calling
From the open, from the blue
But your laugh cuts through the silence
Like a flame would do
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the ice go under
Soft as broken glass
Keep your hand in mine now
We’re not looking back
To the rim of everything
To the last clear line
Where the world turns over
And leaves us behind
[Chorus]
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Take my hand, my love
To the edge we go
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Lose our names
Where the white winds blow (bearskin in snow)
[Bridge]
If the night should swallow
Every road we knew
I’d still follow blindly
Just to stay with you
Let the cold come nearer
Let it bite and fade
I have found my north star
In the trail you made
[Final Chorus]
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Take my hand, my love
To the edge we go
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Lose our names
Where the white winds blow (bearskin in snow)
I’ll take you to the tundra
I’ll take you to the white snows
I’ll lay a white bearskin
At your feet
We’ll hurry through the frostbite
Past the drift and the dark trees
With our breath like little lanterns
In the cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the ice go under
Soft as broken glass
Keep your hand in mine now
We’re going fast
To the rim of everything
To the last clear line
Where the world turns over
And leaves us behind
[Chorus]
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Take my hand, my love
To the edge we go
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Lose our names
Where the white winds blow (bearskin in snow)
[Verse 2]
Your boots leave little commas
In the powder at our heels
And the sky hangs low and heavy
Like a silver seal
I can hear the far wolves calling
From the open, from the blue
But your laugh cuts through the silence
Like a flame would do
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the ice go under
Soft as broken glass
Keep your hand in mine now
We’re not looking back
To the rim of everything
To the last clear line
Where the world turns over
And leaves us behind
[Chorus]
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Take my hand, my love
To the edge we go
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Lose our names
Where the white winds blow (bearskin in snow)
[Bridge]
If the night should swallow
Every road we knew
I’d still follow blindly
Just to stay with you
Let the cold come nearer
Let it bite and fade
I have found my north star
In the trail you made
[Final Chorus]
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Take my hand, my love
To the edge we go
Bearskin in snow
Bearskin in snow
Lose our names
Where the white winds blow (bearskin in snow)
Style of Music
Indie-folk ballad with a steady 6/8 sway, fingerpicked acoustic guitar and low cello pedal; verse stays spare with voice, guitar, and soft room tone, pre-chorus opens into bowed strings and brushed percussion, chorus lifts with stacked harmony and a simple octave countermelody. Close-mic lead vocal, doubled on the hook, with gentle delay throws and a few breathy ad-libs. Icy wind swells, reversed string blooms, and a creaking wood texture between sections. Warm, intimate, and wide at the edges.
