I see your face
In the garden
You've been looking out at the sunshine
On the wall
For hours
I step outside
And caress your face
It's as hard as stone
It must have been so cold outside in the night
Now the sun is setting behind the clouds
And I sit with you for the rest of the day
Looking up at you and you won't turn away
Your soul has survived the winter
You don't know how you got here
Watching over me
But unable to love me
You watched him pack the bags
And you heard him drive away
And he forgot your favourite mug
It's all you can make out through the window
Every now and then
A bird rests on your head
The only touch you've felt for months
I shoo it away and hug you tight
And now I am hard too
Then I grow old
You pass through so many winters
I wrap my favourite scarf around you
And turn you to the old bedroom window
When you look in, it may remind you of your love
But then I grow old
And when you look in, it may remind you there's me
Then they start to pack
But they forget your favourite mug
And they forget my favourite scarf
