Bob Catley Deep Winter
The setting sunlight fades
And once again I'm lonely
You're here beside me
Yet a thousand miles away
So as I pray for sleep
That I might wake up only
To find it's all been just a dream
A big mistake, a re-take
Now the hourglass of time is still
Catatonic on the windowsill
Frozen solid by the winds that chill
You and me
Locked in deep winter
Summer passed away
We both have nothing left to say
Lost in deep winter
Broken down, decayed
Now just the memories remain
We used to laugh and cry
It felt so natural to me
It seemed the springtime
In your eyes could melt the day
A frozen hearted trace
Of words that mattered to me
Became the resting-place
For all that passed away between us
I confess it has an irony
Neither of us where we planned to be
On reflection I can clearly see
You and me
Locked in deep winter
Summer passed away
We both have nothing left to say
Lost in deep winter
Broken down, decayed
Now just the memories remain
Now the hourglass of time is still
Catatonic on the windowsill
Frozen solid by the winds that chill
You and me
Locked in deep winter
Summer passed away
We both have nothing left to say
Lost in deep winter
Broken down, decayed
Now just the memories remain
