Crinan Wood

Well, it was cold, you hid your hands inside your sleeves And as we walked I heard the laughter in the leaves See the shadows lying now where once we stood And I would lie down with them if I only could
The music came to me, it came across the sound And how you laughed and shone and danced a circle around As we walked away, I saw a shadow on the ground There were stones inside my pockets that we found
When I was younger, I heard angels on the roof A thousand voices singing, each note was the truth All the wires and light, I left them in my youth And I have only just my memory for proof
See a doorway open on a darkened room While in the garden, thread lies broken on the loom See your face that's smiling flicker on the wall And in the distance, mountains waiting for the fall
See these knots around my hands, around my feet They would take me down my end for me to meet And I grow weary of this struggle and this fight The morning's so far off from out here in the night
The night is cold and you must leave me, this I know And empty all the places where we used to go Before I knew you, I went climbing in the snow And called your name out to the darkness down below
I miss you
