lyrics

I get some time to myself
Handfuls of moments in a day
You’ve faded somehow out of what now holds in store
And I wonder if you think I got away?
I got the pictures that you sent
A random email that I meant to get you back on yesterday

Do I remember... could I forget?
Did fallen leaves not cover our feet
Did waves at Jericho not crash the whole way down
Have I ever told you what that means

Here on the edge I’m looking out
Almost as much as I’ve been looking in
This little island shines across the ice
That covers the St. Laurence like a skin
I think I missed you coming round
Saw your footprints on the ground, before the wind washed them away

Do I remember... could I forget?
Did fallen leaves not cover our feet
Did waves at Jericho not crash the whole way down
Have I ever told you what that means… to me?

I trusted time to make it all ok
Stuck in stop-motion I don’t feel the same
‘cause I meant to get you back

Do I remember... could I forget?
Did fallen leaves not cover our feet
Did waves at Jericho not crash the whole way down
Have I ever told you what that means… to me?
