Through the Blinding White

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Wind has swallowed every trail

My fingers ache around the rein

The storm is teaching me to fail

But I ride on through sleet and pain

Something ancient pulls me north

Pre-Chorus

Hold the pouch against my chest

The herbs are humming soft and low

Every birch tree knows my quest

Every frozen river knows

Chorus

Ride ride into the white

The wise one waits beyond the night

Ride ride I will not fall

The mountain hears my call

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Ho-ya ho-ya

Verse 2

Snow is biting at my cheeks

My reindeer breathes a cloud of steam

We have galloped days and weeks

Chasing down a half-remembered dream

The cold is loud

The dark is deep

Pre-Chorus

Hold the pouch against my chest

The herbs are humming soft and low

Every birch tree knows my quest

Every frozen river knows

Chorus

Ride ride into the white

The wise one waits beyond the night

Ride ride I will not fall

The mountain hears my call

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Ho-ya ho-ya

Bridge

Bells bells bells across the drift

Time is not a thing I give

North north north the wind will shift

This is not the night I quit

Breakdown

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Chorus

Ride ride into the white

The wise one waits beyond the night

Ride ride I will not fall

The mountain hears my call

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Ho-ya ho-ya

Hey-ya hey-ya

Ho-ya ho-ya
