She placed her ring on the sill,

dishes piled high.

and the air smells like snow.

She's thinking of the siege to come

and how'll she'll miss those weekends

in the park with the sun on her face

and her book by her side and that
C G
lingering taste that he left on her tongue.

He lifts his glass from the table.
G
It leaves a ring where it stood.

He sees the light from the window
G
caress her like he knows he should.
Cmaj7 Em
He's remembering the first time he kissed her
Am
and how he'd wake
and immediatley he'd miss her,
Dm
like a spell, with each breath,
F C
he'd taste he breath like a haunting,
G C
irritating as hell.
E G F
Do you rem- ember when you'd pray
C
to never see the day
F C
when someone would make you feel this way.
Dm
'Cause you knew
Am
it would cut right through you
C G
and once inside, you were afraid they'd find
F C F CGFCG
nothing to hold on to.
F C
He puts her ring on her finger,
G
she brushes back his hair.
F C
He takes a sip from his glass,
G NC
she inhales the cold fall air.
Cmaj7 Em
And they're thinking of the long road ahead
Am
and the strength that they will need
just to reach the end.
Dm F
And there in the silence they search for
C
the balance between this fear they feel
G C
and a love that had graced their lives.
