Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You found us at the water tower
With a split pack and a fevered stare
Mara handed you a chipped tin cup
Said, “First, we count who made it here”
We mark the blocks that still have cans
We check each stair and cellar door
Take only what the winter needs
Leave a note for those who come once more
[Chorus]
Come inside, learn the work, learn the names
There’s a place by the stove and a share of the rain
We plant what we can, we stand when we must
Keep one eye on the road, keep faith with the ones we trust
When the old world breaks and the long nights bite
We keep each other living through the night
[Verse 2]
Nia showed you beans in coffee tins
Thyme beside the broken drain
How to save the seed heads dry
How to turn the roof run-off to rain
You learned which fences bend and hold
Which shop has salt behind the till
How to carry home a sack of roots
And leave the wounded ground still
[Chorus]
Come inside, learn the work, learn the names
There’s a place by the stove and a share of the rain
We plant what we can, we stand when we must
Keep one eye on the road, keep faith with the ones we trust
When the old world breaks and the long nights bite
We keep each other living through the night
[Verse 3]
At dusk, you take the eastern post
Two knocks mean strangers at the gate
A lantern shuttered, crossbow ready
No one stands alone to wait
When thugs came loud for what we’d stored
We held the line, then gave them room
Enough to leave with empty hands
Enough to spare the seeds for June
[Bridge]
You learn the quiet, learn the signs
A hand on shoulder, shift change, all clear
You learn a life is built in turns:
The watch, the meal, the mending here
And when a child asks where we’re going
You point toward the rows of green
“Tomorrow,” you say, “we’ll tend these beds.
That’s how we keep tomorrow seen.”
[Final Chorus]
Come inside, learn the work, learn the names
There’s a place by the stove and a share of the rain
We plant what we can, we stand when we must
Keep one eye on the road, keep faith with the ones we trust
When the old world breaks and the long nights bite
We keep each other living through the night
We keep each other living through the night
[Outro]
At first light, take the eastern post
At first light, water what we sow
