Shadows

the night is deep and dark with shadows
the winter cuts and reaps my pain
the earth is wet into my feet
and I am driven by the sleet
and I'm not trying to set the scene
but you know what I mean

My heart is hung up in a tree
and that is what you are to me
the near and dear now vast and cold
the Sun grown suddenly weak and old
and I can't possibly speak my peace
but you know what I mean

the days are short and the nights are long
and everything I say is wrong
and I can't tell where love has gone
my night is waiting on your dawn
and words cannot convey my pain
but you know what I mean
