There's a breathless view painted blue
And I cannot be true, not like you
So I walk away, everyday
Let the years explain my lovely pain
I throw a rock into the water
And no ripples arrive
Like the snow up on the mountain
I was never alive
I know you're strong as we circle the pond
Smell the cabin fire, snap the ice on the wire
And you run ahead, on a cold white bed
Down the orchard row, frozen apples in the snow
I throw a rock into the water
And no ripples arrive
Like the snow up on the mountain
I was never alive
And it's just one night, watching embers die
And your hand's so warm, as we weather the storm
There's a breathless view, painted blue
And I cannot be true, I'm not like you
I want to walk to the sunrise
Let the mountain decide
Let the searchers discover
I was never alive
I throw a rock into the water
And no ripples arrive
Like the snow up on the mountain
I was never alive
