Wheels were turning in the night as the ocean fell
Over the edge of the world and the joy of birds
Echoed in the darkness
Yesterday lit the distance on fire
It burned until the embers lost their glow
A new world was born amidst the chaos
Rainy nights made pools reflecting the stars in the sky
The hand outside my window lost its nerve
And shriveled into indistinction
Another nightmare of the past
Sometimes I think of you and our memories
I laugh at some and cringe now and then
And I think, whatever happened to the love inside
Did she really ever have it
Or was she always --
I look out the window at the snowy fields below
The sun sets the fog aglow
Mountains lit up against a morning sky
There's a knock at the door
I turn to face the joy again
