It was cold, you had your hands inside your sleeves As we walked I heard the laughter in the leaves See the shadows lying now where once we stood And I would lie down right there if only I couldThe music came to me, it came across the sound And you laughed and shown and danced a circle around As we walked away, I saw a shadow on the ground There were stones inside my pockets that I foundWhen I was younger I heard angels on the roof As thousand voices singing, each one was the truth Well a wise young lad, I left them in my youth And I have only just my memory for proof See a doorway open on a darker road Out in the garden, thread lies broken on the loom See a face that's smiling, quick around the wall And in the distance, mountains waiting for the fall See these knots around my hands, around my feet They would take me down my end for me to meet I grow weary of this struggle and this fight The morning's so far off from out here in the night The night is cold and you must leave me, this I knowAnd empty all the places where we used to go Before I knew you I went climbing in the snow Called your name out to the darkness down below
