I watch the western sky

The sun is sinking

The geese are flying south

It sets me thinking



I did not miss you much

I did not suffer

What did not kill me

Just made me tougher



I feel the winter come

His icy sinews,

Now in the firelight

Tha case continues



Another night in court

Tha same old trial

The same old questions asked

Tha same denial



Tha shadows close me round

Like jury members

I look for answers in

The fire's embers



Why was I missing then

That whole December?

I give my usual line,

I don't remember



Another winter comes

His icy fingers creep

Into these bones of mines

These memories never sleep

And all these differences



A cloak I borrowed

We kept aor distances

Why should it follow that

I must have loved you?



What is the force that binds the stars?

I wore this mask to hide my scars

What is the power that pulls the tide?

Never could find a place to hide



What moves the earth around the sun?

What could I do but run and run and run?

Afraid to love, afraid to fail

A mast without a sail



The moon's a fingernail

And slowly sinking

Another day begins

And now I'm thinking



That this indifference

Was my invention

When everything I did

Sought your attention



You were my compass star

You were my measure

You were a pirate's map

Of buried treasure



If this was all correct

Tha last thing I'd expect

The prosecution rests

It's time that I confessed

I must have loved you

I must have loved you
