In The Gloaming

Footsteps on the floorboards
Echo too loud to be ignored
And the silence is your laughing
You have gone some place I do not know

And I see you there in the middle of the air
When come the dawning you’re fading I’m falling
You wake me but I’m dreaming

Fingers on the cold glass
Frosted over now that summer’s passed
Lengthened shadows in the gloaming
Oh your body chills me to the bone

In the quiet of the night
You’re suspended in the light
When come the dawning you’re fading I’m falling
You wake me but I’m dreaming

The cold it numbed your body
You keep diving deep
The Sun has set there’s no tomorrow
I won’t see you anymore
Winter snow left in shame
Waking on a sunny day
If I watch the stars I might see you climbing

And I see you there in the middle of the air
When come the dawning you’re fading I’m falling
You wake me but I’m dreaming
