This is the fortress that I built
Cold and uninviting
You stumbled on its stones last night
Beneath the trailing ivy
These are the shoes that I had worn
When it was on that day last winter when
You left me frozen and forlorn
I swore I'd never know you better
But oh! You did not know me at all
'Til you had seen me fight
With the dead of the night
Still, you pulled me closer to your chest
You were the one that I liked best
But I always thought if someone loved me at all
They would give up the things that I detest
I know you'd never change a thing
Not for anyone or anything
But when you cannot spare an hour won't you
Spare a thought for a dying flower
But oh! Who really knows you at all
If you cannot talk of your greatest thoughts?
Still , you pulled me closer to your chest and you were the one that I loved best
So go to the fields and wait for me there
And I will show you the paths I used to tread
High on the hill where the rain came down
Punching it, holes in the cold hard ground, well
I stood in your shadow, I was
Jumping and starting at every sound |
