Deep Winter - Bob Catley

The setting sunlight fades

And once again I’m lonely

You’re here beside me Yet a thousand miles away

So as I pray for sleep

That I might wake up only

To find it’s all been just a dream

A big mistake, a re-take

Now the hourglass of time is still

Catatonic on the windowsill

Frozen solid by the winds that chill

You and me Locked in deep winter

Summer passed away

We both have nothing left to say

Lost in deep winter

Broken down, decayed

Now just the memories remain

We used to laugh and cry

It felt so natural to me It seemed the springtime

In your eyes could melt the day

A frozen hearted trace

Of words that mattered to me Became the resting-place

For all that passed away between us I confess it has an irony

Neither of us where we planned to be On reflection I can clearly see

You and me Locked in deep winter

Summer passed away

We both have nothing left to say

Lost in deep winter

Broken down, decayed

Now just the memories remain

Now the hourglass of time is still

Catatonic on the windowsill

Frozen solid by the winds that chill

You and me Locked in deep winter

Summer passed away

We both have nothing left to say

Lost in deep winter

Broken down, decayed

Now just the memories remain
