You and I would speak of time’s cold temper ANd watching our sundials in the winter When the sky was overcast And the present felt like the past Walking down a road says do not enter Underneath the naked oaks and maples Ravens speak their minds on the phone cables And it might be an argument But time is better spent So I’ll just lay my cards on the table I miss you on these long dark solstice days When our conversation came in waves And now our love is in a shallow grave But my memories remain always
I miss you on these long dark solstice days I’d study your breath in late December Like a cigarette I still remember How it moved against the wind And I used to know you then Back before the world forced our surrender I miss you on these long dark solstice days When our conversation came in waves And now our love is in a shallow grave But my memories remain always I miss you on these long dark solstice days I miss you on these long dark solstice days I miss you on these long dark solstice days
