The Weather Station - At Full Height lyrics

If he don't mean it, he won't say it, and I can tell If I don't mean it, I won't say it, and his face fell But it's so seldom I believe it – it takes a clear kind of day Like air so cold it hurts to breathe it And the colour comes to my face And I don't tell my mother, I don't tell my sister Something so tender I'd rather not speak it Even when I know it – that he's mine Woke up thirsty, lost in memory, coming in swells And dreams stay with me, long into morning, strange wells I've been free, but I've known not freedom – like a kite It was a glimpse, but I did see him: at full height And I left it all unspoken and free; In the coming and the going, knowing not what he means And I don't even know him – but he's mine
