Tonight — in the half light of this wood
The snowfalls catch your eyelids
And all the sounds have changed
And your lips — are like blood upon the flag
Of surrender in this night
And I wonder if you know
And I sit, in the cold warmth of your eyes
I listen to the night
And wait for you to move
And the sweat — running down off your soaked skin
Forms its own small pools
And I watch until they go I wonder if you know
And now, at the first light through the trees
You cover me with leaves
And kiss me one last time
And you go — shallow footprints in the snow
Leave the darkness in this hole
I watch until you go I wonder if you know
