When the words ran thin
\nYou smiled and sighed
\nYou said that you\u2019d kiss me
\nSome other time
\nAnd I held your hand
\nBut you didn\u2019t hold mine
\nYou said \u201cyou\u2019re much more heavy than I\u201d
\n\u201cI feel lighter than air all the time\u201d<\/p>\n
And now the seasons have changed
\nThe colors have fallen
\nThere are only sad stories to tell
\nI asked her once about our meeting
\nIn autumn
\nShe told me it fell down well<\/p>\n
She told me we fell down well
\nWhen you walked out the door
\nYou\u2019d forgotten your shadow
\nI\u2019d thought that you\u2019d return for sure
\nBut then came the day I
\nRealized
\nI\u2019d said all that was left to stay
\nThat you had left us long
\nBefore you were gone
\nThat we had faded but I remained
\nI guess it just goes to show
\nThat these hollow notes
\nThey don\u2019t hold the answer
\nThrough the wake of the rain and the snow
\nIt was only ever playful banter<\/p>\n
My love\u2019s on the run again
\nAnd my friends are far from home
\nHow can I hope for my love to come back
\nWhen I hate what I\u2019ve already done
\nCold water
\nHollow notes
\nEmpty glasses
\nAnd a telephone
\nStringing a song to a lover long gone
\nBut the words have nowhere to go<\/p>\n
Cold water
\nHollow notes
\nYou said \u201cI\u2019ve no need now for any of those\u201d
\n\u201cHow can you stand to write me those poems, when you can\u2019t even be a man\u201d
\nCold water
\nHollow notes
\nShe told me I gave her many reasons to go
\nBut she said that she stayed
\nDespite all the pain
\nBut love ain\u2019t love
\nWhen hope is all that remains<\/p>\n
Cold Water
\nHollow notes
\nThat is all I\u2019ve left of love to owe
\nI\u2019d turn the page but the water runs deep
\nSaid what I said but the hill is still steep
\nAnd I know
\nAnd I\u2019m sorry
\nBut it\u2019s too late to show
\nI\u2019ll turn my back on the past
\nSee how long that\u2019ll last
\nAnd be somebody else tomorrow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
