Long Walks and Cold Hands
Our days were filled with long walks straight out of reality
While the cold wind blew on us, and I trusted that you were more than what they said you were:
Angry.
But the stories we told filtered the air
and as we talked I considered the affair that we had never been cold
We had just been lonely
I mean we were just kids so what did we know?
Funny to say we knew that image was more than just clothes and dough
So were we in love? No, but we knew what it was
We knew in that evening we were achieving something not worth leaving
and if we kept dreaming it could become that.
Love.
But now you take your walks alone
While your fingers still tingle but now they mingle with something other than my own
You talk to yourself in the wintry air full of despair and maybe just maybe
It’s because I’m not there
But I know I’m the last thing you think of
Because while I’m thinking of you you’re drinking up that high that you need to get by
Because now the only way you look at life is through red watering eyes
So until that day we recap
And let go of the past and you holding your deathtrap
I’ll find love and come home
While yours only exists between two cold fingers and long walks alone
