I watch the western sky
The sun is sinking
The geese are fIying south
It sets me thinking
I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kiII me
Just made me tougher
I feeI the winter come
His icy sinews,
Now in the fireIight
The case continues
Another night in court
The same oId triaI
The same oId questions asked
The same deniaI
The shadows cIosing round
Like jury members
I Iook for answers in
The fire ’s embers
Why was I missing then
That whoIe December?
I give my usuaI Iine,
I don ’t remember
Another winter comes
His icy fingers creep
Into these bones of mine
These memories never sIeep
And aII these differences
A cIoak I borrow
We kept our distances
Why shouId it foIIow that
I must have Ioved you?
What is a force that binds the stars?
I wore this mask to hide my scars
What is the power that moves the tide?
Never couId find a pIace to hide
What moves the earth around the sun?
What couId I do but run and run and run?
Afraid to Iove, afraid to faiI
A mast without a saiI
The moon ’s a fingernaiI
And sIowIy sinking
Another day begins
And now I ’m thinking
That this is indifference
Was my invention
When everything I did
Sought your attention
You were my compass star
You were my measure
You were a pirate ’s map
Of buried treasure
If this was aII correct
The Iast thing I ’d expect
The prosecution rests
It ’s time that I confessed
I must have Ioved you
I must have Ioved you
