Always
this winter child
December sun sits low against the sky
Cold light on frozen fields
The cattle in their stable growing
To walk
this winter road
Ten thousand miles seemed nothing to us then
One walks with her betrayed
The space between left footsteps so weak
A day
the snow did fall And what's left of the day is close drawn in
I speak your name
as if you listen to me
But the silence of the song is deafening
How well do I recall our arguments Our
logical road debts are recompensed
Philosophy and faith were ghosts that we would chase until
The gates of heaven were broken But
something makes me turn I don't know
I see a lover's footsteps there in the snow
I smile to myself and then I
wonder why it is
You only
cross my mind in winter
