The Wailin' Jennys – Arlington lyrics
Where do you go little bird
When it snows, when it snows
When the world turns to sleep
Do you know, do you know
Is there something in the wind
Breathes a chill in your heart and life in your wings
Does it whisper 'start again'
Start again

Where is the sun in the night
Is it cold, is it cold
Does it feel left behind
All alone, all alone
Does it wander through the dark
Does it wait for the dawn, wish on a star
Does it stray very far
Very far

Where is your home restless wind
Is it there, is it here
Do you search for a place to belong
Search in vain, search in fear
Or is your spirit everywhere
Is your voice every tree
Your soul of the air
If there's no home is there no death
Is there no death

    Arlington is a series of questions a child might ask about natural things: where does a little bird go in winter? Where does the sun go at night? Where is the wind at home? These questions lead to profound questions about our own human lives. How do we know what to do (like the bird), are we lonely like the sun in the night, are we restless without a home like the wind? Are we escaping death by never stopping our endless moving? The questions are haunting and only lead to more questions: do we know who we are and why we do what we do? Is there a great loneliness at the heart of everyone? Do we need to accept our mortality to find peace? A profound, beautiful and haunting song!
