Lyrics (unofficial)

With winter in his eyes
The sky falls heavily
Tonight we're alone
Without a meaning
We are exposed
And postponed

The little ways you loved me
The little days you gave me
In our age of stone
I took you under my wing
I let you sing but you flew
Away alone

You never say what you saw
What is it that comes before all this begins?
You never say what you saw before

With summer in her eyes
A beautiful dryad steps out of her tree
The forest spirits all manifesting
In this grove all around me

Up above the burning stars
Are so wild and free
Way up above us a red early moon
Is soon in the sea

You never say what you saw
What is it that comes before all this begins?
You never say what you saw before

I loved you baby
Why'd you leave me to die?
I loved you baby
Why'd you leave me to die?
I loved you baby
Why'd you leave me to die?
I loved you baby
Why'd you leave me to die?
I loved you baby
Why'd you leave me to die?
Why'd you leave me to die?
