The river's cold; my body's wet
Before I even take a step
The day is long, and I forget
I lost my sight; I fell for you
One winter's night when I'd had a few
The day is long, and I forget
I'm getting old with missing steps
The body wants what the body gets
The day is long, and I forget
Maybe it's real
And you'll never see me again
Maybe next year
When we both forget
I said goodbye before I left
Not for long, just til the end
The day is long, and I forget
The air is cold; I see my breath
My face is numb just like my chest
The day is long, and I forget
A year from now, the sun will set
The body wants what the body gets
The day is long, and I forget
Maybe it's real
And you'll never see me again
Maybe next year
When we both forget
(The river's cold; my body's wet)
Maybe it's real
(Before I even take a step)
And you'll never see me again
(The day is long, and I forget)
(I lost my sight; I fell for you)
Maybe next year
(One winter's night when I'd had a few)
When we both forget
(The day is long, and I forget)
(I'm getting old with missing steps)
Maybe it's real
(The body wants what the body gets)
And you'll never see me again
(The day is long, and I forget)
(A year from now, the sun will set)
Maybe next year
(The body wants what the body gets)
When we both forget
(The day is long, and I forget)
