Cold Ears

The years are running down your face
Just a little taste of yesterday
Reminding you, tomorrow's late
And won't be bothering us today
You said you had somewhere to be
Before the two of us were dead
The first to take ends, split in two
And think to weave them into thread
Oh, I had words to say
I wish I still remembered them
Something written down in haste
Nothing looking back again
She walked away from me so slowly
But hopefully all the same

And she said
Hold me, closely
So that your words might warm my ears
The wind is cold today
The world's been cold for years
And I said
I'll hold you down
If you should start to float
Cause I'm scared of the clouds
And the places you might go
And she said
Don't hold me down
I have no place to be
And I promise if I leave
You haven't seen the last of me
No

Well the years went by as years tend to
I found a girl to help mend you
And when I left, I held her hand
Said I won't be back again
She beat my chest and slapped my face
Told me it was all a waste
But when I leave, she'll cry a bit
And one day she'll get over it
And not stare out car windows
Looking for you, like I do

Cause you said
Hold me, closely
So that your words might warm my ears
The wind is cold today
The world's been cold for years
And I said
I'll hold you down
If you should start to float
Cause I'm scared of the clouds
And the places you might go
And she said
Don't hold me down
I have no place to be
And I promise if I leave
You haven't seen the last of me
No
