Sands dripping down from our feetRight beneath the pier's edge where we were first to meetAnd I caught you once but you let me down twiceI don't know howAnd there's a place we would all go to singWe'd gather round the old town church to hear those bells ringI'll never forget those daysWhen I was worthy of your loveI promise I won't make a soundCos I figure you no longer want me aroundAnd I know that the days will pass and soon we'll be rid of these thingsSo let soft words be spoken and join in these winter hymnsCrows flying out with old wingsBated breath with lungs that barely have the strength to singAnd I fought you once but you let me win twiceI don't know whyAnd there's a chapter that I keep on trying to readBut the pages stick and crumble where your fingers used to beI'll never forget your handsCos they were always pushing meI promise I won't make a soundCos I figure you no longer want me aroundAnd I know that the days will pass and soon we'll be rid of these thingsSo let brave words be spoken and join in these winter hymnsJust let us growYour patience was lost in the seaJust don't goAnd all this darkness will comeMy heart is in stormy weatherAnd the pain is all I have for nowAnd I'm homeboundI promise I won't make a soundCos I figure you no longer want me aroundAnd I know that the days will pass and soon we'll be rid of these thingsSo let brave words be spoken and join in these winter hymns
