Lyrics

Summer is hot but the water is cold.
You swim up to me, hold out your shriveled-up hands and say 'I think we're getting old.' I'm trying to laugh but you're drifting away. You're saying, 'Cheer up, Angel Face, nobody's dying today.'

There was a time when you were a snowman, melting in the yard before my eyes. The grip of your hand to the wisp of a man, evaporating, drifting out of time.

Chorus:
I want to be like the edges of the sea,
fold your sweet and broken body into me.

There's a statue of a lady poised above her grave. It says she fell down a crooked staircase on her wedding day. I pass her in the crowded cemetery on my way to the bar where I'm going to drink away another day.

Chorus

I walk around this little city. It's a trap these days. Everybody wants to leave but everybody stays. I hold my hand out to touch the cool breeze, crunch the leaves beneath my shoe - anything to feel alive now that I've lost you.

Chorus (x2)

Autumn was sweat and winter was blood. We thought that we could make it to the spring.
