[longseason]

Going to make a few adjustments, because this song has been on repeat.

I think it's "all the gentle work of the trace and the jingle jangle jerk, destroying our space". Makes more sense. Getting a team of dogs to start running, and doing so in an organized manner while pulling a sled requires an intricate system of ropes, traces, and harnesses.

Back in the day, traces were made of leathery cords from seals or other available materials strong enough to withstand the stress from the dag yanking it.

Also, I believe it to be "panting of the team". Makes more sense.

Also, I think it might be "All the air's asleep with you in the upset sleigh".

You were streets ahead, I couldn't sleep a wink
Staring in the dark by the light of your skin
Had myself sittin' on a suitcase
All the air's asleep with you in the upset sleigh

They don't wait, they won't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait

Listen you can hear
The sound of the sleigh
The panting of the team
And all runners away
all the gentle work of the trace and the
Jingle jangle jerk, destroying our space

They won't wait, it don't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait
They don't wait, they won't wait
To stay together
They don't wait

Wait, waaaaaait!
Waaaaaait!
Wait!
Please, just stay together

They won't wait, they don't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait
They don't wait, they won't wait
To stay together
They don't wait

Wait, waaaaaait!
Waaaaaait!
Wait!
Please, just stay together.
