Sun set before five
we were laughing loud at starlight
We just
let our frosty voices drift up,
break upon the moonlight's
streaking skies
Aware my time's up...
You wear your life stitched on your sleeves
Midnight chimes shattered on winter nights
and fell back on the skyline that we shared
Time is up, the wine's all drunk
Stains map out the story over miles
With borders crossed
and chapters done
We'll fold it up, tattoo the legend on our backs
Ground begins to thaw
March will knock all of this ice off
so just
try to stay dry, keep your chin high
just float until the flood
decides to pass
When summer dries up...
You'll wear the story on short sleeves
Midnight chimes call back the winter nights
and outline those same skylines we once shared.
Springtime's up, winter wine's drunk
Map is stained with purple markered miles
Borders erased
and chapters closed
It's folded up, we bear the legend on our backs.
