It feels like the first winter in years
A dreamlike desire
Sprung out of silence and fear

Cold city
Calling upon my memories
I feel so torn, city
Calling upon these memories

In this still winter’s sun
She’s the image that returns
With all these tears unshed
And all the words we never said
How real is this love

Cold city
Calling upon my memories
I feel so torn, city
Calling upon these memories

The snow upon these blackened streets
A hardened hand
A hardened body between frozen sheets
A first shiver
The first shiver in years

Cold city
