sometimes in winter

sometimes in winter

i gaze into the streets

and walk through snow and city sleet

behind your room

sometimes in winter

forgotten memories

remember you behind the trees

with leaves that cried

by the window once i waited for you

laughing slightly you would run

trees alone would shield us in the meadow

makin' love in the evening sun

now you're gone girl

and the lamp posts call your name

i can hear them

in the spring of frozen rain

now you're gone girl

and the time's slowed down till dawn

it's a cold room

and the walls ask where you've gone

sometimes in winter

i love you when the good times

seem like memories in the spring

that never came

sometimes in winter

i wish the empty streets

would fill with laughter

from the tears that ease my pain
