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
