Winter Sun

Together we dance
In the light of our best years
Back in the careless days
Before we learned to fear

I bathe in your warmth
(I breathe in your love)

Crisis rained down on our heads
So wrap your arms around me
And we'll build ourselves a home

Wrap your arms around me and build the walls
With our love so we're never alone

I fear the day the twilight comes
Where the cracks begin to show

Say it and I'll take it all away
The sun begins to set
Pull me from my grave
With your splintered hands
In the cold there lives resent

You fell back down that mountain
You put my love on trial
Sentence me with your silence
Sentence me to death
I'm drowning in the silence
I'm more possession than a man
My fingers slipping from your splintered hands
Bathe me in the golden light
And kiss me one last time
And I'll watch you drift away

And I'll watch you drift away
Away

Once a lover now a stranger it seems
Nothing but the winter left to meet me here
I was never a ghost before
I became a stranger to you

Colors fade
Everything turns to grey
As I watch myself be erased
With someone else's name

I hope you find what you need in their arms
I'll find the cure for the curse in my heart
Cling to the memory of the summer you gave me
While you forget me

Forget me

In the cold I roam
In the rubble of our home
No winter sun to keep me warm

Just the memory of our dance in the light
My final act of love
To abandon the light
Let you slip from my hands
To a life that's better than all of this
I wish you well my friend
I hope we heal and find our way
In the cold of the night
Is where I'll learn to live

I wish you well
My winter sun
