lyrics

I wish that you were here
But you're not
I'm left to wonder where
Were you true to me like I
Was true to you
Were you?

But I see them
The things that people do
To each other all the time
But we don't do them do we?
And you're waiting
For bad news to hit hard
You're always on your guard
Should you be?

It was Christmas when you came
And then spring again
And yes, we made it through
I think of what I had
That I didn't use to have
And no, it never settled

And I see you
Coming through the park
With me there at the start
And an old man walking up to us
And he showed us
A plate with a magic bell
For a dollar he would bless
We said no thanks I 'm not sure why

There's a sparrow on my fence
Trying to make sense
Out of this lack of movement
Breathing in the sky
A balloon not so high
And then it's leaving

And I wonder
Were you really happy then
Looking down at your hand
Tired in your seat
By the window
With the ash still on the snow
Warm inside your coat
Or just bothered by that crooked stone
