Leave my heart in the fall
And my head in the spring
Let me sink in the earth
Till I’m part of everything

I stepped in the footprints of a great shadow,
Looming over me in a sunlight halo,
A protective cast that wound my life in shade,
A little life of sand and dirt, a life of which we’d made

But I as asked to look what lies ahead, beyond your frame,
You left me behind, and I carried all the blame,
I only asked to look what lies ahead, beyond your frame,
But you left me behind, and my world isn't the same

We were so happy in those moments before
With promises of visiting the long winding shore

We were supposed to go to the beach

I thought forever was a feeling
But then you asked me for the facts
Honey, you held me in your arms
And kissed me just as my heart cracked

I long for you, and I've made you mine
How the ducklings imprint,
Like chalk stained hands,
Cracked stained glass, residual glows,
Bleeding ink of print

Forever temporarily marked
