Still sky of ebony,
So silent are the streets,
Town’s quiet but I
Can't sleep at all
I hurt the most come eve,
Jealous thoughts and scary dreams,
Why can't I just turn
My mind off?
I've not her gilded wings,
I've not his beauty,
Why do I lie and say I’m not
Another one of envy’s victims?
I tell myself sweet things,
But I still focus on this pain,
And I, I wish that I could shake you
From my thoughts
But like snow in Summer’s heat,
It just doesn’t happen,
It just doesn’t happen
I wish we would never meet
But here we are again,
Here we are again
I heard you left last Spring,
May came, you turned twenty-three,
Moved back in with your ma and pa,
But Ma hurt, and Pa would drink,
I know it wasn't easy,
But you stayed ‘cause you were
All they got
You told them you would never leave,
Tired of the city,
You would start a new life
Far from it
Mom passed next morning,
Did Dad cry or say anything?
Or comfort you
As you wept?
I know you want him to be
There for you when knocks misery
You just want him
To care enough
But like snow in Summer heat
It just won’t happen,
It just won’t happen
When I close my eyes it's you I see,
And I’m scared you’ll find someone else,
I’m scared you’ve found someone else.
No more’s the sky ebony,
Cold dawn over Autumn streets,
Another night where I
Didn't sleep at all
Three years, we still don't speak,
I wonder how you're doing
This city life's become too much
Been thinking of moving,
Maybe settle down, find somebody,
Build something I can call my own,
Well I hope fate's good to me,
I've been down on my luck lately,
I just hope things start looking up,
And if cross our paths, then we
Can share fond memories,
And what we think the future holds,
And like snow after Summer heat,
It could always happen,
It could always happen…
