Deep Winter

The setting sunlight fades and once again I'm lonely
You're here beside me yet a thousand miles away
So as I pray for sleep that I might wake up only
To find it's all been just a dream, a big mistake, a 're-take'

Now the hourglass of time is still
Catatonic on the window sill
Frozen solid by the winds that chill you and me

Locked in deep winter - summer passed away
We both have nothing left to say
Lost in deep winter - broken down, decayed
Now just the memories remain

We used to laugh and cry, it felt so natural to me
It seemed the springtime in your eyes could melt the day
A frozen hearted trace of words that mattered to me
Became the resting-place for all that passed away between us

I confess it has an irony
Neither of us where we planned to be
On reflection, I can clearly see you and me

Locked in deep winter - summer passed away
We both have nothing left to say
Lost in deep winter - broken down, decayed
Now just the memories remain

Now the hourglass of time is still
Catatonic on the window sill
Frozen solid by the winds that chill you and me

Locked in deep winter - summer passed away
We both have nothing left to say
Lost in deep winter - broken down, decayed
Now just the memories remain
