lyrics

can be that we're never satisfied
but I believe we've enjoyed the moments that we tried
I've seen the things you saw when you looked back at me
reflect my tired eyes
let's lie down to sleep

you emerged from the wood down by the creek
you said you'd seen a gull, a golden glove held in it's beak
and that's when you saw that it was time to leave
and that's when you knew you'd never hold on to me

stay three steps behind me as we walk across the lake
this late in the season this old ice is bound to break
and if I slide into the water don't you follow
toss me an old branch and watch me wallow

favor's forgiveness, don't forget a melody
give in to your distractions, and you'll wind up next to me
I've seen the things you saw when you were looking back at me
just close those tired eyes, and sink down in to sleep

cover me in kisses when you see me at the wake
and skip a skipping stone for me next time you're at the lake
I found a five leaf clover and I lost it
next time you're at the lake don't try to cross it

I'll never make you happy, but I hope you're satisfied
and if I fall through the ice, at least I hope you know I tried
I've seen the things you saw when you were looking back at me
just close your tired eyes, come lie down with me
