lyrics

I remember the first time I felt your embrace
My fingers went numb and the blood left my face
The whole city stopped just to watch you arrive
As I fell deep into love with a chill down my spine

For many years after I'd wait for your call
The first day of Winter, the last day of Fall
Short were the days and long were the nights
cozy and warm hiding safely inside

On again. Off again
Three months at a time
On again. Off again
I was yours and you were mine.

Time has a way of breaking things down
Your love buried me like the snow on the ground
We once built a fortress, an angel, a dream
But icicles melt if you know what I mean

Kept trying to leave you in so many ways
As the springwater ran like the tears down my face
What seemed so refreshing, so open and free
Stole the light from my eyes, brought me right to my knees

On again. Off again
Three months at a time
On again. Off again
I was yours and you were mine.
