today i walked out in the snow
so peaceful on the sleeping lawn
it filled my shoes and chilled my bones
you weren't there and i moved on
you weren't there and i moved on
the city streets were full of noise
hammers, faces flushed with heat
the cars and windows all in lines
i couldn't see you in those streets
i couldn't see you in those streets
i passed a graveyard glistening
the grass of morning fresh and wet
the birds were screaming come and see
i walked away you weren't there yet
i walked away you weren't there yet
the woods were walls of shadows thick
with phantom limbs on hardened ground
the path was overgrown and lost
fallen leaves were all i found
fallen leaves were all i found
i check the hospitals and bars
i read the papers every day
though i know you're still at large
they all say you've gone away
they all say you've gone away
at home i sit and feel the ache
of walks alone in crowds of pairs
though the search is hard i know
one day i'll look and you'll be there
one day you'll be there
