You changed my world like melting snow
And unfroze my spirit
And I thought that love had come to stay
Not just to visit

But now a charcoal sky has overwhelmed the eye
Though there's no fire
And though I tried to compete, I guess the taste's not as sweet
As new desire

I saw the stained glass as it fell from your grasp
With no light shining through it
No vision bejewelled
Or incense at the rude awakening

Now that you're gone I guess I'll be strong
Though I don't really want to
And if I stumble around
It's not me but the ground that's shifting


Taking a trip to far away
Across the horizon
Leaving the heart that lost its mind
Forgoing all reason

I'll find a secret cove or a secluded grove
And watch the time flow
White walls are in my sight reflecting back the light
So there's no shadows

And on a quiet beach that's not within reach
Of the streets of the lost days
With time on my hands I lay on the sands
Like a castaway

So the sea has found me and did the wise woman see
In the cards that she dealt me
A present unfold or a moment untold
To still the memory
