The mornings are dim
The evenings are long
Since you've been around
Every flower I once knew has been
Hollowed through and hung out on the line
And I sit and I think
And I hope and I wait
And I watch you take over while
The air disappears
And the wind's a persistent beast
That rattles every corner of the mind
And when it's time I'll know
To stay or follow
This winter could be
Spring tomorrow
The days have been grey
The nights have been cold
Since you've been away
Every memory and photograph
Muddied up the river far behind
And I laugh and I cry
And I cry and I laugh
And I wash away tears
And I look at the clouds
And the trees sweetly whisper
That somewhere in the moment you're around
And when it's time I'll know
To take or borrow
The love you left me
For tomorrow
Or give it away and
Move through the sorrow
And when it's time I'll know
To take or borrow
The love you left me
For tomorrow
Or give it away and
Move through the sorrow
