corasundae - Carry

The windowsills are glistening

As snow begins to fall

The cold licks at my fingertips

And numbs me to it all

If anybody's listening,

Then listen to me well

The chiming silver bells announce

The story I will tell

Once, somebody held me

Once, somebody help my hand and said

I'm not alone because he's here with me

On a bustling street, you pulled me along

Just as faint as the wind, you whistled a song

"What's wrong?"

So you asked and in turn I had said

"It's nothing."

That's not a lie

With a brush of a kiss

The touch of a hand

You don't promise a thing

Or that you'll come back

And then, then you left, and you left

Me with just those

Two words:

"Carry on"

The snowfall turns to rainy day

An arc across the sky

The seasons are forgetting you

And slowly, so do I

I still remember bits of it

A story that I tell

But now it has solemnity

A lot more like a spell

Once, somebody held me

Once, somebody held my hand, and yet

I can't remember

He has here with me

Hid away with you that cold September day

In your company, in your company, with nothing good to say

Then you stood up and would soon be on your way

You said something then, and it changed my life

Those two words, what were they? Ah

Even

Now I feel an ache

Somewhere in my chest

I thought time would over time have put it to rest

But it's only dulled

And the truth hasn't changed.

I loved you. It's not a lie.

With the brush of a kiss

The touch of a hand

You don't promise a thing

You'll never come back

But somewhere inside

Those two words ring and I

remember
