wrap yourself in cold October wind
I know I can't bring you home again
so I walk beyond these empty streets
looking back at my Eurydice
you threw the rope
and I let go
with no one there to catch us
and nothing left to hold
and so we fell
moonlight casts a heavy, frozen pall
covering the bruises of the fall
sunlight comes and all is memory
but does the day hold all that's to be seen?
I followed your footsteps
til the sun revealed the path beneath
where you and I - wandering, reeling
found each other - broken and bleeding
and saw we were two halves of the same whole
now back in your arms
with one mended heart
we can feel the gravity
the power and energy
that once tore us apart
it was in us from the start
that's why we fell so hard
lay your head here among the stars
know the day is longer than the dark
