The Winter From Her Leaving

William Fitzsimmons · Gold In The Shadow [2011]

Shove me out to see

The sea

The quiet of December

To the deep I turn



From the wreck I bless

This mess

For what I can remember

Your ghost I burn



Why do I always feel

Like I'm waiting to begin?

Why do I always feel

Like I'm waiting to begin?



Lay me down this sound

Unbound

The birds of spring returning

Your ghost I burn



Shall I sleep to keep

This peace?

The winter from her leaving

To the bow I run



Why do I always feel

Like I'm waiting to begin?

Why do I always feel

Like I'm waiting to begin?



Why do I always feel

Like I'm waiting to begin?

Why do I always feel

Like I'm waiting to begin?
