There's a breathless view painted blue And I cannot be true, not like you So I walk away, everyday Let the years explain my lovely pain I throw a rock into the water And no ripples arrive Like the snow up on the mountain I was never alive I know you're strong as we circle the pond Smell the cabin fire, snap the ice on the wire And you run ahead, on a cold white bed Down the orchard row, frozen apples in the snow I throw a rock into the water And no ripples arrive Like the snow up on the mountain I was never alive And it's just one night, watching embers die And your hand's so warm, as we weather the storm There's a breathless view, painted blue And I cannot be true, I'm not like you I want to walk to the sunrise Let the mountain decide Let the searchers discover I was never alive I throw a rock into the water And no ripples arrive Like the snow up on the mountain I was never alive
