Leonids

Meg Hutchinson

After I knew it was over had one too many in that bar

Stumbled out into cold weather we did not talk in the

car

I was still drunk hours later you woke me up on

account of the stars

Climbed out on the roof for a while lay side by side

in that beautiful dark



Chorus:

And I almost forgot the pins in my heart

Almost forgot what was tearing us apart

We left the shape of our bodies in the frost

For a while I was ahead of all that we'd lost



I remember mornings when our breath hung on the air

I remember evenings when our edges disappeared



Chorus:



There's a certain kind of freedom

In letting go of such a dream

Out beyond all ideas of belonging

That's where my love begins, that's where my love

begins



And I almost forget the pins in my heart

almost forget what is tearing us apart

i can still see the shape of our bodies in the frost

for a while i am ahead of all that we've lost
