Crinan Wood

It was cold, you hid your hands inside your sleeve And as walked I heard the laughter in the leaves See the shadows lying now where once we stood And I would lie down with them if I only could The music came to me, it came across the sound How you laughed and shone and danced a circle 'round As we walked away I saw a shadow on the ground There were stones inside my pockets that we found When I was younger I heard angels on the roof A thousand voices singing, each note was the truth All the wise and light I have left them in my youth And I have only just my memory for proof I see a doorway open on a darkened room While in the garden thread lies broken on the loom I see your face it's smiling, flicker on the wall And in the distance mountains waiting for the fall See these knots around my hands, around my feet They would take me down my end for me to meet I grow weary of this struggle and this fight Morning so far off from out here in the night The night is cold and you must leave me this I know And empty all the places where we used to go Before I knew you I went climbing in the snow Called your name out to the darkness down below I miss you
