six minutes in honor of the end of a six year "relationship"
The breath of life
pure as its birthspring
tears fresh on my open skin

Sunset in my golden valley
All's dead in the frosty glow, and
How can I end what I didn't begin?

About to close the door, I find
Those who most care life leaves behind

A thousand empty rooms
a thousand lives that I lie shrouded under

I've lived them day and night
wov'n them in unshone light

And I,
oh, I...

My love is a frozen river
running through the hills of long ago
My heart is a fortress ever
but what is immortal when always alone

I watched from far away
You were the valiant one
And all i felt to do was hide
imagine you would find me

The years go by, I'm growing up
I'm growing...womanly
I walk and talk as if I know what I mean
The dreams of old thirteen
sigh into the youth of nineteen
And yet I dream on...

I'm sure you're long gone
but still...

I would cross that frozen river
I would bleed a drop a day
until this world knew spring again
If i could hope that you would ever
love me as I always dreamed you did

But I grow sick with it...

These tears have starred my eyes
My ignorance seemed wise
The doors to my sanctuary
thrown wide, and
watching the day die, oh

I stand unrealized...

I'm walking through the park
and finally, I see it clear
And for the first time in your life
you've just come through the gate

I smile, and wave, and walk on,
I leave you standing there, in the sun, and

How can I blame the world I didn't let in?
