We watched the seasons passing slow
By the fields between your grief and mine
Grey clashing floods from the silence we made
Led us to leave our truth away
My dear
We've been the sum of things we almost had
We learned to sail where ships have gone drown
Full-bosomed seas, we turned around
So many winter nights in deep cold, cutting snow
And we've been the strings we long to hold
My dear
We've been the sum of things we always lack
From now on we'll never sleep alone, rest your heart
We'll manage to see when eyes are meant to be grey
You look at me and we look away
The prime touch we plea will come with no harm
No, not this time
I'll brave your hand and you trust in mine
