Last Year

Sometimes I miss the laugh lines
How it was last year
Peace of mind and days gone by

Tired eyes maudlin and snow-blind
Walking up Bay Street
Show me something I can't deny

I've been awake for a lifetime
I'm in trepidation always faking
I just need time

You keep time like a film scene
Moments we won't know
'til they're gone and pass on by

Pale lights over the hillside
I'll hold you so close
While I'm up and you sleep quiet

I've been awake for a lifetime
I'm in trepidation always faking
I just need time
I've been awake for a lifetime
I'm in trepidation always faking
I just need time

Last December we were trading goodbyes
When snow was falling in the hue of the fire
Conversations about our place in the world
You're half asleep but I can't stop thinking now
