I watch the western sky
The sun is sinking
The geese are flying south
It sets me thinking
I try to understand the phrase
everything as a purpose, all things happen for a reason.
I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kill me
Just made me tougher
I tried my best to stay strong and
not let the pain show through.
I feel the winter come
His icy sinews,
Now in the firelight
The case continues
But there moments he'll enter my
thought, will become a vision I nearly can touch.
Another night in court
The same old trial
The same old questions asked
The same denial
I knew more then I was telling
them.
The shadows closing round
Like jury members
I look for answers in
The fire's embers
Passing his picture on the wall I
stare into his eyes, and still feel that connection started years ago by a
twist of fate.
Why was I missing then
That whole December?
I give my usual line,
I don't remember
Why couldn't I love again?
Another winter comes
His icy fingers creep
Into these bones of mine
These memories never sleep
And all these differences
A cloak I borrow
We kept our distances
Why should it follow that
I must have loved you?
I make a change of scene to become
a new person in a new home.
What is a force that binds the stars?
I wore this mask to hide my scars
What is the power that moves the tide?
Never could find a place to hide
I was made for him and he for me,
God's secret plan from above.
What moves the earth around the sun?
What could I do but run and run and run?
Afraid to love, afraid to fail
A mast without a sail
I get asked out time to time, but I
say no to love.
The moon's a fingernail
And slowly sinking
Another day begins
And now I'm thinking
What if their right and the worse
day of my life happened to help me become a stronger person?
That this is indifference
Was my invention
When everything I did
Sought your attention
Still I remember days of endless
laughs and secret kisses that will never be again.
You were my compass star
You were my measure
You were a pirate's map
Of buried treasure
The needle is broken; the arrow
spins around and around.
If this was all correct
The last thing I'd expect
The prosecution rests
It's time that I confessed
I must have loved you
I must have loved you
I gather Jack and Fiona to me like
I did years before.
