Sinking into the belly of the night
Quiet surrender
Frozen in a land of slumber
Winter is here
Suspended in grief’s dark womb
Snowy peaks of sadness loom
Retreating into lonely dreams
Winter is here again
The quiet work of losing you
The only thing getting me through
Is the endless sleep of shadows
The quiet work of losing you
The only thing getting me through
Is the endless sleep of shadows
The quiet work of losing you
The only thing getting me through
Is the endless sleep of shadows
I lost you that summer day
Winter took you away
Sun and snow, a perfect show
A fading storm, a deathblow

Light dancing in the shadow
Sun and rain form a rainbow
What does it mean to grow?
But damn, here it goes again, here it goes again, here it goes again
That wind bringing you to me, that wind bringing you to me and away from me
It’s a fresh hell I find myself in
But it’s my hell, and I know it well
They say sun’s coming out, time to go out and play
But I don’t wanna move on, no I think I’d rather stay
No I think I’d rather stay

I see them laughing in the park
I see the birds and they spark memories of summer
Like feathers scattered on rocks
I’m flying back to the start
How to see myself after you?
Who to become without you?
Now that I know love won’t conquer all
I learned that when you let me fall
Cause I’m not gonna run after you
I’m not gonna run after you
I’m gonna sit here alone
I’m not gonna run after you
Children running in the grass
Laughing as the seasons pass
They’re not trying to make it last
And they’re not stuck in the past
Cause they know it’s alright, it’s alright to feel joy
If healing comes from death, it’s also celebrating life that’s left
Cause I’m not gonna run after you
I’m not gonna run after you
I’m not gonna run after you
I’m not gonna run after you
How to see myself after you?
I’m not gonna run after you
Who do I become after you?
I’m not gonna run after you
Will I love again after you?
I’m not gonna run after you

What’s the end of a story?
Is it when everything is still?
Trees stand tall in all their glory
Giving us beauty at the very end
So what’s to learn from an ending?
Is it my echo fading in the wind?
Is it a lesson? Is it a story?
It’s all too big and I’m too small to fit it all in
I spent my days weaving a pattern with my sorrow
Never knew one day to the next what would show
What I learned from you is that love can be fleeting if you don’t know
That you gotta water the seeds so they grow
There’s a million ways to love
A million ways to lose
A million ways to die
And a million ways to choose
To see all the Truths for what they are
A constellation of contradictions
I’m letting mine wither and die
To be reborn again when I love again
When I love again

Kathy's Song

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know was you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you went I
