Season Lyrics

I wonder

If you'll be more than a stranger to me again

You appear as a ghost drifting through

The forest in my head

Memories play like cassette tapes

Before film rots to rust

With every piece that falls away

The forest you wander

Vanishes to time and dust

And you've left with them now

But you were here for a season

And I look back to those days

When warmth came with an embrace

But now in that space

A cold emptiness takes its place

In dreams where fondness eclipses all reality

(How do I carry all this grief?)

The faintest of a familiar face I see

(Christ help me, how could I carry all this grief?)

My closest form of closure

Phases straight through me

Subconscious illusion broken by lucidity

Dear friend, where are you now?

Dear friend, please, please

Stay for a while (please come back)

Stay for a while (please come back)

Stay for a while (please come back)

Thanks for the time

You were there for a season

And I'm learning to look forward now

Not to forget you

But to remember in pain less

To be put together when the cold comes

And know in the warmth there is rest
