Chills

Grey Eye Glances

The fog is slowly lifting

The lighthouse, she is dancing

Like a skater etching circles

But the pond is rarely frozen over

You, now I remember

It's Maine in mid-September

And everything that mattered

Stayed safe between our hands

You turn to me and smile

You feel those chills?

 

So I went racing living

And you went right on giving

And time went by like steam trains

Sorry, if I made you feel alone

Even though I was so close

But now, as I look around this place

It could be home

 

And here I am

Trapped within this moment again

Holding firm, on this aerial I send

And now I know

Like I've never really known before

Come what may

To remember it and soar

You ask of me once more

"You feel those chills?"

 

I remember when we

Were out there alone,

And there we knew we had to stay

Something shifted

Before the snow could subside

And everything that mattered

Turned slowly around

(And did you see it then?)

 

I'm flyin ' down the freeway

On an empty, narrow bypass

And reflected far beneath me

The lights flash just like cameras

And you, now I remember

Caught beyond the simple splendor

So we covered up the embers

And left what we'd been given on the way

Past the mountains and the storms

 

Here I am

Trapped within this moment again

Holding firm, on this aerial I send

And now I know

Like I've never really known before

Come what may

To remember it and soar

 

Here I am

Trapped within this moment again

Holding firm, on this aerial I send

And now I know

Like I've never really known before

Come what may

To remember it and soar

You turn to me once more

 

It's early Tuesday morning

And you're gently, calmly sleeping

I can hear the water turning

And the heaviness is overwhelming
