Are there no blinders on lights that blare
White noise on the eyes
From gas station lots and reflected ice -- glare
So that I can walk home by moonlight -- alone
verse 2
Or can we go out to where the wind howls
And stand alee against the trees
They've grown up so tall that you can't see the house
It's a fortress now but you know how it used to be
I can lie to myself and say I like it
But I would love it if you were here
verse 3
These words on paper smell like you
Associated in random thought
On my lips the words turn blue
Evanescent feeling lost
I can lie to myself and say I like it
But I would love it if you were here
I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear
But I would love it if you were here
verse 4
I can just see you show me your gardens
I thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines
I wanted to know you when we were both older
I thought there'd be more of those wonderful times
I can lie to myself and say I like it
But I would love it if you were here
I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear
But I would love it if you were here
Outro
You were here
Yes, you were
Yes, you were
