The Island in the Fog

I will not fall until I've settled down
And made a place for you to stay
I will not crawl upon this hallowed ground
I'll give my shoes away

I will not leave until it is my time
But when that is, who's to say?
I'll meet you there- the island in the fog
When all my debts are paid

The feeling of you has slowly been replaced
By the feeling of trying to remember
The universe can't fill the empty space
And I'm trying so hard to forgive her

Oh, how quickly we bury our dead
And all but grief subsides
Oh how slowly the world turns on its head
I promise I don't mean to hide

I'm always seeking the winter of my father
As he seeks the winter of his
Oh, my Lord, I don't mean to be a bother
But what is the point of all this?

Why does my world continue getting smaller
As my life goes on?
I'll bury the dog with its bone and its collar
Before I am gone
