Narrow Skies

Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For the days of auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the days of auld lang syne

Daylight is fading, your journey is ending
They tell me you'll never come again
My heart is heavy from holding so tightly
‘Til only a memory remains

Daylight is fading, the leaves have fallen
Feeling so cold now inside my mind
Moves with my heartbeat, so slowly retracting
‘Til only a memory remains

You must go now
Take hold of all you know now
Cold winds blow, in perfect time
To bring you back to me
Until then, let me sleep until the warmth
Of the sun is on our side

Shadows are moving, the daylight is fading
It takes with it what I want to hold
Will I remember, the moments unspoken
Hidden beneath amber skies

You must go now
Take hold of all you know now
Cold winds blow, in perfect time
To bring you back to me
Until then, let me sleep until the warmth
Of the sun is on our side

Tell your heart ‘don't hide away’
For the night was made for times like these
Let the dark hold your pain
In a whisper only we could understand

Tell your heart ‘don't fade away’
For the night was made to save us
Let the dark carry this pain
With a voice only we could understand

I want the wind to carry me
Far away from here
And as I fly, I'll take with me
Moments left behind

I want the sea to rescue me
And carry me away
I'll let the waves wash over me
And listen for the voices of the tide

(Away)

Seasons they won't wait for me
Swiftly they pass by
With each new breath, new roads ahead
Embracing every moment as my guide

You won't see me passing by
Until the healing hands of time begin
Make my heart sing again

My beating heart goes with the earth
With seas that roar and winds that sting and strain
Cries her song once again
Cries her song once again
Cries her song once again

Their songs fall silent on the wind
And as they fall they do not rise again
And their voices are gone
Will my heart sing again?

Make my heart sing again
Make my heart sing again

You won't see me
'Til the birds sing again

Searching, ever searching
Though the fade came long ago

Calling, hear them calling
New horizons speak to me

Waiting, I'll be waiting
For dawn's sweet break to come again

Without this fading
I cannot grow
So winds of change move in me

Without this fading
I cannot grow
So winds of change move in me

I am falling, falling with the wind
But I’m no longer drowning the deep

And I’m leaving all that was
All those troubled times
And I, if I could just let go
And take your hand in mine
And move…

And I am learning, learning to let go
And I am moving ’til only a memory remains

And I’m leaving all that was
All those troubled times - leaving them behind
If I could just let go
And take your hand in mine
To move… with the hands of time

I want the wind to carry me
Far away from here

And I’m leaving all that was (And as I fly I’ll take with me)
All those troubled times - moments left behind
If I could just let go
And take your hand in mine
And move… with the hands of time

We walked that season of gold
I'd walk it again with you
Clouded moments, hazy pictures in my mind

I've seen this moment before
Can I go there again with you?
Reminisce, of where time stands still

And I, I might need,
I might need to re-imagine

And I, I might need,
I might need to re-imagine (to re-imagine)

We walked that season of gold
I'd walk it again with you
Clouded moments, hazy pictures in my mind

And as the season turns cold
I'd do it all again with you
Distant memories... or just a dream?

How was I to know
What was coming
And all that lay ahead?
How was I to know
If we'd make it through
Just one more time?

But with you in the winter
My heart cries
Just a little more each time

How were we to know
Every season would shape us
Take us, and make us whole?
Time carries these moments
Moments of gold

But with you in the winter
My heart laughs
But with you, with you
With you, with you
In the winter

But with you through the winter
My heart learns
Just a little more each time

In the winter

Behind the door of winter
Are mysteries only time can keep
Deep inside I'll remember
Winters past while I sleep

If you could only
If you could only find this place

If you go deeper
Into the forest dark and still
Mysteries untold and words unspoken
Lie here, lie here

You must listen stronger
Beyond the whispers of the wind
You'll hear more than you were told
When you're invited, invited in

If I could only
If I could only let you in
Before the last leaf falls to the ground
If I could only

Steal each breath
Cut through my skin
And blow winter wind

Give me time here
In the silence
And freeze, freeze, bitter sky

You won't find me
You won't find me

I awaken
Time refrains
Keep blowing winter wind

You won't find me
You won't find me here

So blow, winter wind
Keep on blowing
