Splinters

Count their names now one by one
The first is the last to leave
And winter seemed so far away
If only I believedFamiliar rooms have left no trace
Empty walls where people stare
If only I could change the day
My spirit walks upon the airAcross this space that lies between us
I raise my hands
Against the glass in splinters red and white
And in this place that lies between us
I understand
To break the glass in splinters red and whiteWe play in mirrors
Dance like shadows
Until the end we kiss the rain
The wedding song that plays for no one
Fallen they will shine again
I can feel the heat and flesh
I can see the closing hand
And still you fall inside my sleep
We spiral like a drowning manAcross this space that lies between us
I raise my hands
Against the glass in splinters red and white
And in this place that lies between us
I understand
To break the glass in splinters red and whiteCount their names now one by one
The first is the last to leave
And winter seemed so far away
If only I believedFamiliar rooms have left no trace
Empty walls where people stare
If only I could change the day
My spirit walks upon the airAcross this space that lies between us
I raise my hands
Against the glass in splinters red and white
And in this place that lies between us
I understand
To break the glass in splinters red and white
