lyrics

This coat still carries a trace of your scent,
though days go by and I’m turning within
I reach for your face in the dark of my bed.
But shadows won’t fill the palm of my hand.

When I was a child I was haunted by blood
in my ears in the dark like an onrushing flood
now a man, my blood seems cooler at last.
But the waters of memory are rising fast.

Deep in the sound of the woods in the night,
I heard your voice and the way we fight
The wild we’ve been, the hurt we’ve done.
All those animal things we call love.

Will I see you again in the city of stone?
Will our eyes meet and pass, has it been so long?
My face and my hands seem the same to me,
but you might not recognize this heart, I’m sorry.

Now the ice is melting down from the roof
and the path in the snow’s showing patches of earth.
My time’s not long in this place of peace
so I’m wringing my pen for every last drop of her ink.
