spare my heart of love
and you spend your time staring at the autumn
while the leaves chase you gray
and while we've learned to stand
we stand not so tall but very small inside
just high enough to hide our pride
i dream in fits of love
but love does me no good
when the ache breaks my tears
and my knees for you
and your foot's at the door
window open and your soul spills
into the rain
and i wait a little while for you
but the street lights are calling you
and you go
and i wait for the dawn to bring you home
always
and i sway
oh love i sway for the storm you leave me with
on my arms in the night
and you stay there and you stay easy
and i hate standing in this place
with your taste in my heart
and though you make your haste
haste is waste when all your skin is
but a shadow fading thin
and i fade so thin for you
while i watch the hands embrace
and the best i do is hold on
to strands of you
yet they too slip away from me
and a mourn fades into the morning
and i know
your steps will always lead you to stray
always
and no matter how hard i cry to my shaking fists
my shaking heart
i can't be strong enough and bold enough for you
to endure these winter days
snow strewn in my face and chills my soul
at the knowledge that you're gone away from me
by the wind and by the storm
and that's all that's left of you
all i know of you
anymore
come back to my palms pressed against your back
that are now pressed against the glass
waiting and aching for you
because i can't let you go
even though i know
i will never see your summer smile in another day
but i try
