Winter light cut through my lover's dream
The frost around a blue tree gone where we've been
Kissing like strangers driven by need
The story goes backwards, back to its seed

I wish I could hold it
I wish I could own that day

Looking down our road everything's dead
February's cold air presses my head

I wish I could hold it
I wish I could own that day

But hold on, summer will come
To shed some light on the nights that trouble us
Ooh love brighter than sun
I'll match your step at your side after you're gone
At your side after you're gone, at your side after you're gone
