lyrics

Now you are what you never wanted to become
A part of the world you hated from the start
And still you said that you felt cold and spun the yarn until
The Evergreens shed off their old brown coats in the early spring
The flaking bark had hit you in the arm, you think
But can't see where it fell

The last I heard, you found your way back up the trail but passed the turn
We made while I was gathering the sap and ferns
We thought we knew but couldn't find the words
I lost my weight, but you can't stand to look at me or pray the same
The garden that we started never gave a thing
But then, I never watered it at all

Leaving me is something; I don't know the word
It's easily the worst thing I have ever heard
I cursed the trees for all looking the same
All last week I paced and hoped to God that you were following
The muddy prints and sticks I broke that grabbed my sleeves
Because you'd recall that awful day they fell

This is something you've got to see; it broke the waves
It held my hand, carried my dead weight
Made you smile and kissed our feet
Let me down into the deep
It lit my path and showed me the grave
I never asked, but were you afraid?
