Waiting for Spring

New moon outside
And the frost lays heavy on the ground
Eyes open wide
As we swim through the wreckage we have found
Summer’s past and gone
And I’m choking on the things that I want to say
When all is said and done
Seems like winter’s here to stay

When winter settles in
And in the darkness that it brings
Will you remember where we’ve been
And promise to wait for Spring?

In the still of the night
We’re together but you’re so far away
Snow falling light
On frozen bodies made of clay
Bitter memories
Drift down softly in my sleep
Fascinating me
Haunting the edges of my dreams

When winter settles in
And in the darkness that it brings
Will you remember where we’ve been
And promise to wait for Spring?

Yesterday seems so far away
And tomorrow is but a dream
Trying hard not to put the blame
On everything, on everything
Rising up for another day
With shadows of the things I’ve seen
Being careful with what I say
And letting go of the things I’ve been

When winter settles in
And in the darkness that it brings
Will you remember where we’ve been
And promise to wait for Spring?

That feeling when it’s almost the end of winter and you’re dreaming of warmer weather…or when you’re having problems in your relationship and really want things to get better…
